... in my legs might be more from MS than other causes. I have the neuropathy, cramps & charley horses, but have been experiencing what feels like muscle twinges and I can actually see the muscles in my calves "jumping" while I'm sitting reclined and have my legs up.

Can anyone please advise me what other sensations might be common??
