Is there an MD? Calf fasciculations!

My calfs have been twitching now for three months. What could this be? It seems to happen most when I stop walking or running. Any ideas? Thanks.

I should also tell you that I drink about 3 cups of coffee and my running miles have gone from 100 to 40 per week over the past three months. The drop in miles was to increase my bike time and that went from 200 to 400 miles per week. All this time my calfs twitch and spasm. It’s not painful I just feel strange. Does anyone else have this? Is there something I can eat? Is it the coffee?

My calves have looked like bags of gerbils for about 3 years. It’s basically 24/7 and only stops if I skip an entire week or two of running. It gets a little better if I’m in genuinely peak condition.

I tried everything (hydration, salts, stretching, weights, massage, etc.). Nothing worked and I don’t worry about it anymore.

As I’m sitting here right now, they’re jumping all over the place.

I had the same problem when I used to run regularly. Stopped running and don’t have the problem.
