What Causes Twitching In Knee After Meniscus Surgery?
Hello, I have been getting a twitching spasm feeling in my quad right above my knee. I do have symptoms of a tight IT band and I had Meniscus surgery on the same knee . I am being treated with physical therapy. Do you have any idea what could be causing this sensation?

Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your.
Yes twitchings can happen the way you feel. Twitching post surgery occurs as a sign of healing from the operation or due to muscle contraction. These usually settle down soon.
If it's very painful or troublesome you can take muscle relaxants.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
