Body-wide twitching can be caused by various factors, including anxiety or stress, caffeine or nicotine excess, electrolyte imbalances (potassium, magnesium, or calcium), muscle fatigue, or underlying medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy, so consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions and determine the best course of action.

My dad has blepharospasm where his left eye and cheek keep twitching nonstop, and it's really bothering him. He even gets headaches from it. Doctors mentioned surgery or injections as options, but I'm wondering if there are other treatments we could try first. What else might help with this?

My mom has lumbar canal stenosis and can't walk more than 300 meters or stand for over 5-10 minutes. She's been getting painkiller injections every 6-8 months for the last 3 years but they're not helping anymore. The doctor prescribed Pregabid 50mg twice daily, Dupact 40mg once daily, and Mecobal 1500mg once daily. Will these meds actually help improve her condition or is surgery the better option at her age? Her MRI report shows the severity - just worried if meds can provide real relief or if we should consider surgery

Surgery is advised to the patient due to lumbar canal stenosis.
