Since sunday - I did a nice even paced 50 miler on the road - the muscle on the inside of my thigh above the left knee periodically pulses/spasms.
The movement can be felt quite clearly and also seen through my trousers when seated.
WTF is causing it?
worms...
ah bugger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciculation ??
FWIW I get these twitches all the time, in my legs/arms/eyelids. I haven't died yet so I'm not overly worried! 🙂
or maybe it's one of them aliens? 😯 it's about to hatch and burst out of your leg?
T'interweb doctor strikes again!!
[i]"A fasciculation [f?.?s?k.ju.?le?.??n] (or "muscle twitch") is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction (twitching) visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. Fasciculations have a variety of causes, the majority of which are benign, but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons."[/i]
Wonder if my insurance will cover it?
stretching exercises can help.
