Welcome Paul @pathfinder2263, I have arthritis along with a few other conditions and have had cramps in my calves but haven't had any muscle twitching. Most of the time the cramping symptoms for me are caused by not drinking enough water during the day. Here's some information you might find helpful on the topic.

"Why do my calves constantly twitch?
Leg twitching is a common symptom that is most often due to lifestyle factors, such as overexertion, dehydration, or overuse of stimulants. It usually gets better following appropriate lifestyle changes." --- What causes leg twitching? Symptoms and treatment - Medical News Today: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/leg-twitching

You mention that the the twitching is constant. Do you notice when you doing daily activities or is it mostly at night?

Hi John

Thank you for taking the time to write back. I usually feel it all the time. It doesn’t hurt, but I can feel the little twitching that feels like what I imagine to be little worms crawling just under the skin.

I appreciate the information you sent as well.

Whatever, it is it seems one can be diagnosed with many things from leg twitching, but little can be done. It’s not a problem at all the way it is, but I want to rule out everything I can, for peace of mind.

Thanks again John
