Legs twitching and random, quick little pains?

Sometimes I get weird twitches in my thighs when I’m sitting or laying down. Also, sometimes, usually while sitting, I get random “pinches” or “pokes” of pain in my lower legs, that only last a couple of seconds. It feels like something bit me or someone took a needle and poked me. I’m not sure what that’s about, and it happens almost every day. The twitches in my thigh happen every day, sometimes a few times.

A common reason for symptoms described is an electrolyte, mineral or micronutrient imbalance. A blood test may assist in determining underlying cause.
