What Causes Abnormality In Calf Muscles Without Any Discomfort?

Hi Doctor, Whilst I was sitting in a chair I rested my feet on the coffee table I noticed that my calves were moving by themselves, like there were worms wriggling inside them. There was no feeling of this happening therefore no discomfort at all. It was so weird watching them move about. I am 63 yrs old, I am not overweight, I eat healthily and exercise regularly. What could be causing this.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
