twitching and pulsing in left knee Posted: 12-18-07 20:15pm
i have been having these symptoms for
easily a month now...
it comes and goes...
its not so much painful as it is annoying
what i'm feeling is twitching and pulsing
in what seems to be the middle of my
knee.
its just the left knee and happens at any
time of the day.
if i straighten my knee out it seems to
stop it for a shot time
you can't see it twitching or feel it
twitching from the outside
when i put pressure on the back of my knee
... it almost feels like it quits
sometimes this twitching is very
noticable... other times its just slight
i'm not sure if its an orthopedic issue,
possibly RLS or neurological issue? even
maybe an issue with an artery that goes
through or something?
all i know is that its annoying the heck
out of me.
where would you suggest to start? seeing
my family dr. or go straight to a
orthopedic dr. ? thanks

Tring elevating your legs every day. You
can do this in bed by scooting your bottom
as close as possible to the wall and then
lifting your legs up the wall. I
experience twitching, too; and this helps
relax both the muslces and nerves of the
body. Seems neurological to me...

I've been experiencing the same symptoms
the past couple weeks; have you visited a
doctor yet barnprincess74? Have your
symptoms disappeared? Any advice??

Benign Muscle twitching syndrome can be
made worse by stress and over-exercise to
the muscles of the knee. If the knee
twitching affects your life to an extreme,
prescription and over-the-counter
medicationss are available for treating
cramps.
Vitamin D and magnesium diet and soda
water (contains quinine) are examples of
simple treatments that some people have
found effective. I take a magnesium
supplement before sleeping...
If none of these help, you can ask for an
EMG or neurological exam from a
neurologist.
