Yes, I have them in my legs too. Yes, it is supposed to only be in the upper body, but th knee bone is connected to the thigh bone....

My physical therapist demonstrAted this by pushing hard on my pectoral minor while testing the strength in my leg on that side. Laying down I was to hold up th leg while she pressed down on my leg. Just the act of pressing down on the spec minor muscle made significant
difference in the strength of the leg.

Botox is often prescribed for eye twitching. Often insurance covers this.
