It's annoying, but not painful, and comes and goes. You can actually see the muscle twitch when it happens.
It's also possible to have what neurologists call benign fasiculations--occasional muscle twitches with no real observable cause beyond a slightly stronger than normal nerve signal going down the motor nerve from time to time. Still, given your history, it might be worth an exam and some localized neuromuscular testing.

Hi Glenntaj
What would be considered a localized neuromuscular test that you mentioned? I have an EMG in a week and a half, is that the same thing?
Thanks for you insight, much appreciated.
