Toe twitching/fasciculations?!

Thank you Jennifer and Colleen! And sorry about the delay, we have been dealing with a Covid outbreak in my school, so there is that...
It is strange to get my "hopes up" about this being a back injury, but of course I am doing just that. I visited a second GP who says we should wait for the MRI results, but he was wondering about my back as well. I will say this: my twitching/toe movements have really settled down during the day. BUT I have noticed that they come out in the evening, especially when I try to do light exercise. For example, I jumped on a mini trampoline for 12 minutes and after that, my toes were moving once again like they were part of a player piano. I was upset that the twitching had flared up again, but I wonder if that might be more of an indication that this condition does have something to do with alignment. Strange thing is, I do not have a history of back injury. I have had some problems with sciatica in the distant past, actually been laid up a few times in bad, last time being 10myears ago. And some nerve pain tends to flare up when I carry heavy groceries, etc., but nothing out of the ordinary. My neck has also gotten "stuck" in a certain position occasionally and hurts- this after a minor injury when I was a teenager- slipped down the stairs and could not move my neck the next day.
So, my toes are twitching now as well after some minor core exercises. I am still worried about my follow up appointment for the MRI's, it has been over a week now and I don't have the follow up until Monday. I'm hoping no news is good news. Yes Jennifer, I would love to correspond further about this issue, and touch base. Thank you for such a detailed response; this is just a strange symptom. Did the case study you found also refer to moving toes? Thx to you and anyone else who might pipe in, Erika

I developed sudden peripheral neuropathy after the Covid vaccine. My initial symptom after the first vaccine was muscle spasms in my toes. This symptom advanced to documented peripheral neuropathy after the second vaccine. My initial EMG was normal, but subsequent EMGs are abnormal. Many vaccine injured patients are reporting muscle twitches such as you describe. If you would like to learn more, you could join the Neuro V Long-Haulers Facebook group.

@ecann32 Erika, I also wanted to share this link to a site that discusses in great detail neurological issues caused by physical reasons, such as pelvic alignment. These problems can mimic a spine problem and cause sciatica. You can get nerves firing from compression that can happen anywhere along the nerve path between where the nerves exit the spinal cord and the destination of your toes. I realize this is an older post, and perhaps you have an answer, but I thought you may be interested in this information.

Can you share an update? Have your providers figured out what was happening with your piano player toes?
