> [@teelabrown](#): > > All my life, for the small random twitches. For the Leudett’s tinnitus, about thirty-five years. Reading about this, I wonder if what I’ve got going on in my right ear canal is related to some kind of nerve twitch. Every now and then it’ll feel like a tickling sensation - like there’s something, a bit of fluff or hair or something, in the canal, but there never is. > [@wguy123](#): > > I’ve had muscle twitches my entire life (eye, bicep, shoulder, leg - all over and you can physically see the twitching). Just around my eye (aside from, possibly, the ear canal) and I can feel the twitching sensation; sometimes I can feel it by pressing a finger lightly to the spot, and once or twice I’ve been near enough to a mirror where I could look - and it does look strange. Some t ime back, I saw a video on Youtube where someone filmed his calf experiencing a really bad muscle cramp. It looked ICKKKKKK. ---

They can ball up TIGHT which is why it tears/strains the muscles. Most of the time I can react quickly enough to stop them from getting that bad, but sometimes it is too late. Most of them in the calf happen to me while deep in sleep. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > Most of them in the calf happen to me while deep in sleep. Yep. That’s a truly nasty wakeup call. Once when I was a teenager, my mother came running into my bedroom because she thought I was being murdered - IIRC, both of my legs cramped up, and I was SCREAMING. Nowadays, I’m relatively good about coming from a dead sleep, to rolling to a standing position to stretch that calf, in about a half second. ---

Not sure this is the same one I saw, but it illustrates the ICKKKK pretty well: [This Video of a Calf Cramp in Motion Is Fascinating and Cringeworthy | SELF](https://www.self.com/story/calf-cramp-video) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-anyone-else-here-deal-with-muscle-twitches/1001884.md?page=1)
