I have seen 2 neurolgist, had a brain mri, upper and lower therasic mri, emg and tons of blood work done. I out of the blue had my left foot pinky toe start twitching at night for weeks, then went to my legs (thigh and calf) then moved to my feet and then all over and changes places all the time, always mostly left side.

I am not opposed to visiting the doctor, I just don't know if a specific doctor would be necessary or any other advice would be helpful. I do not believe that this is a side-effect from my medication, as I have been on these medications the past few years. I also suffer from mild-moderate anxiety. I should also mention that I am prescribed 150 mg Wellbutrin and birth control daily, and have also been taking painkillers as needed for the past few weeks due to surgery. I am worried that these symptoms may lead to something greater, as I am only 20 years old and am not sure if it will become worse as time progresses. I decided to keep track of the frequency of the twitching for a 5 minute span (both laying down and in a sitting position) and it occured around 8-10 times within 5 minutes (varying from fingers, glutes, thighs, calves, etc). The spasms are very rapid and only last for a few seconds. The muscle spasms have only occured in my thighs, calves, and glutes and are not as common. The twitching occurs all over my body, including feet, ankles, calves, thighs, knees, glutes, wrists, fingers, elbow muscles, and biceps. In the last 30-45 days or so, however, I have noticed the twitching both returning and being much more frequent, and also accompanied by muscle spasms as well. The twitching eventually subsided/became less noticeable, and I forgot about it. However, the sleep study did not show any abnormalities in my sleep pattern. At the time I also had trouble sleeping, so my doctor suggested a sleep study, perhaps the twitching was causing my body to not fully fall asleep.

The muscle twitches originally started in my feet and legs, and was more of an annoyance than anything. This particular problem started about 5 years ago, however it was much more mild and not as worrying.
