There's a long list of things that could be causing this including arterial problems, nervous system problems, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, drug side effects, etc. There are different kinds of muscle spasms from cramps to twitches. You'll have to see a doctor to find out whats going on.
Hi. my name is Ann Marie and I have the same symptoms as you do. My Dr. is now doing all kinds of tests (believed to be the central nervous system) that is not working properly. It is painful at best. you feel like you can fall when you are walking as well. I went for an MRI of the Brain. And now the Dr. will be doing an EMG. which might give us a hint of to the Y this is going on. just a friendly suggestion for you and your Drs. P.S. Lyrica only makes you Fat and Tired. Keep the Faith plug away keep asking questions.. Remember the biggest thing you want to know is the Y. after approx.10yrs. I am now finally getting answers. You can too. hope this helps some. ann marie
