What Causes Feeling Of Ants Crawling On Shin Muscles And Intermittent Twitches?

I am a senior female in high school and track runner. I ran intensely all season, the. When summer started I went on a trip and haven t exercised (ran) in 2 months! But when j am just sitting or lying in bed, it sometimes feels like ants are crawling up my shins or my muscles (quads and calves) start twitching a little on and off. This has been happening for months now!! Help?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, actually this could be due to running, muscular spasm may be the cause or this could be to sport injury, in my opinion this may need some investigation to rule out some muscular condition and better is MRI test till then have some rest and drink more water, local muscle relaxant can be tired, oral preparation of "Tab Chlorzoxazone with Acetaminophen" also nice for this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
