Hello,
I have studied your case and you do not need to be worried about this. This type of twitching is called myoclonus or spasm.It is not a serious problem and can be tackle easily. I would suggest you to increase salt and calcium in diet. I would also recommend you to take Methylcobal and b complex in diet. You can rub that part with volitran ointment. If there is increase in clonus or spasm than you need to visit a neurologist and take his opinion.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
