Why does my muscle twitch and how do i get it to stop?

Question

ok muscle right by my knee has been twitching for the past three days nonstop.. i swear... and its getting REALLY annoying.. why does it do this and how do i get it to stop?

Answer 1

This could be due some form of exercise you may have done, or it could be your bodies way of telling you need potassium.  Try eating a banana or avocado.  If that does not help go see a dr.  

Answer 2

I get random twitches every now and then too, usually triggered by stress or overexertion. Try massaging the muscles around your knee and in your thigh for a few minutes to relax it. This usually does the trick. Sometimes muscle twitches can be nutrition related as well, involving magnesium or potassium deficiencies so eating a banana can help. Good luck :)
