This prob is not the forum for this..or maybe it is since everything goes with peri.

But, will everyone please look at their legs/calves and tell me if you left one is slightly smaller than the right? ( assuming you have both). And maybe it's from driving?? Yes, I am there right now. I don't know what is wrong with me. Reassurance needed please😁

    Yep this is all a bit random but my left calf is 1/2 inch bigger than my right (yep I measured it, sad I know!). No idea why this should be, doesn't matter how much exercise I do, the difference remains the same. I've just accepted that's how I am, but the left side of my body is weaker than my right. Hope that helps at least you know you're not on your own

      Everybody in Kroger was getting their calves stared at today. Lol

      I am asking about this because of my muscle twitching and jerks and want to make sure I'm not losing muscle. My husband says I am too skinny. But I have also been mostly vegetarian for the past couple of years and probably haven't paid much attention to my protein intake. Now I am. And with my anxiety and occasional GB issues sometimes I don't have a great appetite. I am just hoping this is all peri and not some muscular disease going on.

    Actually, I retain water in my left so my calf in left ankle is usually 2 inches bigger then my right

    smile my left is slightly bigger than right. No clue why but I focused on that for a while and everyone thought I was crazy until I measured.

      Thank you ginger. I have driven a lot over the past 13 years. So I was thinking maybe that's why my right looks a little bigger than the left, since that is the foot we are using mostly
