I'm a 27 year old male who is an admitted hypochondriac to a small degree. About 3 months ago I went to the GP for lower back pain. The pain seemed to be worse when sitting but xrays were normal. I returned two weeks ago with same back pain problem and leg twitches in the calf muscles of both legs. These twitches seem more prominent (or at least i feel them more) when I'm sitting down. I've had these twitches for about a month all together. GP ordered blood work and all came back normal (TSH levels, lyme titer). He advised to lay off the caffeine. I don't perceive any weakness, I can walk on my toes and my heels, although i feel pain in my back with the latter. I have a neuro appointment in a few weeks to hopefully get to teh bottom of this.
Can a lower back injury cause muscle twitches?
