Could be his body's reaction to less physical activity.

But has he been checked for RLS?

My rheumy's office is forever asking for volunteers for RLS trials.

Hi Joe,

I do know that he was given meds for the RLS to see if that would be of
any help and it didn't help his situation at all. He sees a neurologist
this coming week to see if they can figure out what might be going on!

Thanks for the input!

You know I never thought of less physical activity being a culprit in my
twitching issue. I went back to work full force after being off for a
month recovering from the Mediastinal surgery to diagnose my
Sarcoidosis. I was really stressed having to do so much in a short
period of time, I wonder if that has strained a nerve into constant
impulsing??
