However, both are better than the 'needle piercing' I felt for 1 1/2 years that took my breath away. The muscle was waking up 
I wouldn't worry all that much but good that you're getting it checked out.

thanks Dale, I have a few questions for you if you dont mind.
Dale did the muscle twitching cause your muscle to contract? Or was it twitching that was under the skin but did not cause the muscle to contract?
How consistant did the muscles twitch? ( for a few months, days, years?)
I also get it in the triceps and other upperbody parts. (not near as bad as the calves) . Did you get consistant twitching that was not below the surgery site.
When did your muscle twitching start, right after surgery, months later? It has been just over a year since my surgery.
