Muscle Twitching

Hey y'all! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"&gt;

I was just wondering why, after I do sport and then stop and rest, certain muscles (hamstrings, knee ligaments, groin, triceps and stomach muscles) twitch strangely <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">. Its normally one at a time. The twitching is really strange as you can actually see the muscle tensing and its irregular so I cant get used to it. They are sometimes of varying strengths as well.

I have been told it could be due to nervousness and/or tiredness and could also be due to high levels of caffeine (I drink huge amounts of Coca-Cola - several ppl suspect a sponsership deal <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">).

I do also have some weaker muscles due to past muscles strains that I didn't rest as well as I could of (hamstrings and groins mostly). Also spent 5 months of last year (November 2000 - March 2001) with a Osgood Schlatters Disease if that means anything to anyone - which i doubt to be honest <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif"&gt;

Any help would be great (I think I might go and see a doc this week just in case)

I get the twitchy thing all the time to! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;
Its really wierd, anyway i think it twitches from being tired or not stretched out after playing a sport or whatever. Try stretching that muscle more and see what happens, it usually works for me.
