Do you ever get these random muscle spasms (I guess that's what they are) that just won't quit? The right side of my back (lower part of the lat) is just a-twichin' away, for no apparent reason (I didn't work back today or anything). It doesn't hurt; it's just weird. Sometimes I get twitchy muscles in my legs after going for a long walk too. Is it just me? Is anyone else out there twitchy too?
 
Emily, when my back kept twitching from carrying my son all day, every day for 9 months, my doctor sent me to PT. The twitching wasn't exactly painful, but there was a vague soreness that came with it. It was also in the muscle right next to the curve in my upper back. Even Zanaflex couldn't take care of it completely. It went away once I got into serious weight training and developed strength in my back muscles.

I get twitchy muscles in my legs, too, after doing tough leg workouts. But they're painless and they go away the morning after.
