When my calves twitched for 11 months my feet never twitched that I recall and I was already having weakness. Could be BFS which is no big deal compared to MND. Wait for the EMG and get a sedative if you need it. No point in driving yourself round the bend.

I think I had weakness before the twitching but had Quad bypass heart operation 2 years before and thought that might have been the reason. Never had any buzzing.
