Hello everyone. Just wondering people’s thoughts on this. I have a small bit of muscle weakness in my left leg around the calf which started a few weeks ago but recently my calf has begun twitching in the calf and down along the back of my leg into my foot. I can see the left calf muscle has shrunk considerably. Over the last few days my right calf has started to twitch a small bit as well but nothing much. While my calf feels weak it also feels a bit swollen like there is fluid in it but it’s not swollen or any pain, just constricted. I still have power in it and can go up on my toes heels etc but I just wondering that it feels considerably weaker in the last 10 days or so.
A number of other issues would be Iv lost a lot of weight recently by choice but also for various reasons not been very active either. I wonder would that play any part in the muscle getting smaller as the right calf (which is my dominant leg hasn’t lost any that I can see). Thank you for your patience with this post
