This twitch (what feels like my knee is beating like a heart) is located a little above my right knee and a little to the left. Has this happened to anyone before and is this something to be concerned with? I know this is a weird question, but it is really bothering me. Not only is it super distracting but you can also see my leg "beating" through my pants leg. It's kind of freaky. Any suggestions?

Ok, first of all thanks for everyone who responded so quickly! I think my muscles may be overtired because I have been doing intense yard work for a few days now. I really hope this goes away seeing as I do not have health insurance right now. In the meantime, I guess I will be eating plenty of bananas!

For some reason your muscle is spasming. Sounds like you need a good dose of potasium. Just eat a banana a day for a few days and it should ease up. This usually happens if you stretched it wrong or twisted wrong. It does not necessarily have to be painful but has your muscle in that area in a tizzy. You can try some ice and then heat, ice for 10 min on and 20 min off for 24 hours and then heat (moist heat is best) from then on. Hope this helps!

There is a twitching in my right knee that has persisted for a couple of days. Should I be concerned?

Knee Twitching

Yes this does happen to me whenever i feel it i always want to feel it but then get freaked out and shake it off.
The twitching for me does not happen on a regular basis but it does occasionaly. I actually don't mind the twitching and it never seemed to me that it is a promblem. I think i have them because im stressed out so maybe that's what is happening to me and you. If it does bother you a lot then go to your doctor or somebody.
hope i helped

I had that same thing in my right thumb a few weeks ago, after a couple of days it stopped. I read somewhere that tics like that happen when your body is tired. Your muscles are fatigued. It's annoying, but should go away on it's own.

You might wish to check your potassium level, either with a doctor or by reviewing your eating habits. One of the signs that my diuretic for blood pressure is working too good and I have shorted myself on OJ, bananas and other potassium sources is muscle twitchings.

I m surprised nobody has mentioned magnesium. Getting enough will often balance your calcium too. I use an herbal cal/mag so I don t have to worry about making things worse (more out of balance) like you do with synthetic/isolated minerals. Rhea s works really well.

This might be related to sitting down alot, or not exercising your body. Try stretching or walking sometimes to keep your body loose. Of course you could of hurt yourself somehow, so maybe check with your doctor.
