SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 May 12, 2006 Its driving me nuts!!! The muscles on the back of my upper arm (just the right arm) has been twitching off and on all week. Most of the time it is when I am relaxed and just sitting or laying down...not when I am at work. Is my arm trying to tell me something? BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event.

Seriously though, same thing happens to me every once in a while. Did it just yesterday for a few minutes as a matter of fact. There's a lot of different things that could cause it. I have no idea where to begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt How would one combat this before it starts to hurt. Prevent is the word i was looking for. Avoid all muscle exertion. The downside to that approach, though, is that your body will deteriorate and you will have the muscle tone of the average slug. You are far better off exercising. If the muscle aches/soreness are from exercise, cut back on your workouts or reduce the intensity a little bit until your body becomes accustomed to your activity level. You may also want to consider taking a couple of Tylenol before working out, but to my way of thinking, this is a very bad idea because if you are having pain, your body is trying to tell you something.

Taylor610 0 #10 May 12, 2006 And why is it that on a Friday no less, this post has gone on this far and no one has stated the obvious... The sex was so good, it made your muscles twitch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hambone 0 #11 May 12, 2006 Walt, I am not talking about the sore that you get after lifting where you feel like everything is swollen (man am i going to get shit for that statment later) but more the whole aching when i am sitting in bed. Is there not something that i can eat. My old Lacrosse coach used to say Alkaseltzer. That seemed to work but i wanted to prevent it no fix it.Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without looking it up, I'm guessing that AlkaSeltzer is a mix of sodium bicarbonate and aspirin. I doubt the bicarb will do anything for the soreness, so if AlkaSeltzer had any effect, it was probably because it contains aspirin. Sounds like you are having some kind of abnormal muscle pain and should see a doctor. Is it all over aches or restricted to certain areas of your body?

Walt Usually my legs it doesn't happen all that much, I think that is a combination of a lack of Potasium, and dehydration. It happens that i get a little dehydrated at the end of the day since i have been pushing my self pretty hard in the gym these days. But thats all going to end as I am rededicating myself to water.Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiittycatt 0 #16 May 12, 2006 I had that happen for a few weeks not to long ago. My arm would visibly spasm on and off all day. It was so annoying and a little disturbing I was kinda stressed out at the time, so I attribute it to that. Weird nervous twitch? Went away on its own after a while but still happens from time to time. 'Celebrate we will, cause life is short but sweet for certain' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt I'm not sure how effective drinking it is, but bicarbonate made in your body is used to buffer/neutralize lactic acid. Edit to add: Bicarbonate loading has been used in the past by athletes to prevent the changes in pH that occur with exercise, but too much of it causes gastrointestinal distress, so large quantities are not good unless you enjoy diarrhea while running...

udder 0 #18 May 12, 2006 With bicarb, it reduces the acidity of your blood, thus reducing the effects of lactic acid. They did tests 2 years ago with a few of the rowing guys and it acts as a buffer, though large amoutns must be consumed...usually this is not consumed orally It works for about 1800m of a 2km race but then causes a catastropohic onset of fatigue. If you want to get rid of lactic acid the best thing to do is switch between an ice bath and a hot shower/spa/bath. This is the quickest and most effective method of getting rid of lactic acid. A cold and then hot shower will suffice, but repeat a few times. Also massge does well too. Fanally, who's going to give you the cure all hot-beef injection?
