Muscle Jumping In Upper Arm Does Not Go Away
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello team,
I have a question; has anyone ever had twitching of a muscle for instance in your upper arm and it never goes away it may twitch less often some days and nights it may even be calm for most of a day or two but for months and months on end it has not completely given up twitching and sometimes it Twitches so hard that you can just see it really jumping out under the skin and I wonder if any of you can ever remember experiencing that with your Parkinson's?

I am a member of the twitching club myself. You should bring this up with your PD specialist.

My right arm and shoulder usually "jump" when I'm sitting on the couch about to doze off. I think it's telling me to wake up, so I can sleep at night. 😂 Only the right side. Hmmm 🤔, i usually twitch as I am going to sleep also
Blessings, Karen

I have it but only periodically, also suggest neurologist!

I have restless legs like that and on occasion similar muscle twitches in my chest and arms. My neurologist prescribed something for restless legs that has helped. I agree you should ask your neurologist about it
