hi all

not sure if am in the right place but would welcome some advice

for background I am 40 yr old male and do the levothyroxine for under active thyroid 

all started 5 weeks ago with twitching on my right forearm just below elbow.   Though nothing of it and it seemed to stop within 3 or 4 days 

it then comes back sporadically and when it does it is near constant until I move my arm - its visible and painless. It has moved to my right tricep occasionally too.  

MY right hand feels also stiff however not weak at all.  

The he reason for my post is that around 3 days ago my right calf started to twitch 

feels like both my legs are jelly now when I walk. 

Can an anyone offer any advice or recognise any of these symptoms.  I have an appointment at doctors next week.   Anxiety is starting to creep in now.  

Look foward to any words of wisdom!!!

    Not sure if the thyroid problems are related to twitching, but it looks like you defintely have neurological consulting to do.
