Just wondering if anyone else ever has micro twitches in their calves after running or hard biking? I seem to get lots of them. They don’t hurt, it just looks like there are some crawly things under the skin. Very odd. Anyone know what causes this?
Thanks.
i get those. they are more noticable when my legs are up.
i have not given them much thought to be honest.
get them constantly in my right calf - actually freaked out a massage student after a recent trail ultra when she saw it happening, and my husband gets a little weirded out by it as well.
in my case it’s a result of nerve damage from severe sciatica a decade ago. since it’s not painful and everything functions the way it should otherwise, i don’t worry about it.
looks kind of neat, though - like someone’s strumming a guitar and my calf muscles are the strings!
cheers!

a lot more often in my 20’s, not so much now after 20 more years of training. spasm of muscle similar to uncontrolled muscle firing that cause cramping?
