What Causes Twitching Sensation In Shoulders After Taking Antibiotics For Injury?

Hello, I cut my hand (near knuckle)yesterday that required 5 stitches. The MD checked to see if the tendon was damaged said it was close but not cut. I received shots to numb the area and antibiotics to take for 7 days. Today my shoulder has been twitching all day?
