"Hey Charles!
I know you are knowledgeable about sports injuries so I thought I should ask you. I have been getting these weird muscle twitches lately in my left arm, just below the elbow on the upper part of my arm. It is only in the left arm which is part of the reason why I think it must be a sports injury. They last for several seconds and you can visibly see the muscles spasm. It is rather weird. I haven't been exercising much lately because it is winter and I am not sure what I could have done to give myself a sports injury, assuming that is what it is.
They started yesterday and now it is happening even more today. It is getting worse and I am starting to freak out a bit. Any ideas?

Hey Rodney, long time no see.
Okay, well you are in luck. I don't think it is a sports injury. I think you are having isolated muscle spasms because you probably haven't been sleeping much lately (I am guessing because of New Years etc, it messes up the sleep patterns for many people). I get them sometimes too, always when I have had a lack of sleep. One time I got the spasms in my left eyelid and it was really annoying.
I have found that if I simply take extra time to sleep, maybe even have naps when possible, the spasms go away and everything rights itself.
According to my research they can also be caused by high stress (which effects sleep patterns). So that can also be a factor.
If they don't go away after lots of sleep, then you should definitely consult a doctor.
Sincerely,
Charles Moffat

"Oh damn. I think you are right. I have been staying up for the last two nights really late and playing Skyrim. Like staying up til 4 AM, that sort of thing. That game is really addictive. Okay, I just need to go to sleep sooner and stop playing Skyrim so late at night. It all makes sense now.
Thanks Charles! You're awesome!

Glad to hear my educated guess was accurate. I was wrong about the New Years Eve, but correct about the lack of sleep. Go sleep more!!!
