I am not sure if it is a sign of ADD of OCD (certainly not compulsive "masturbation") but I experience similar traits. I tend to crack my neck, wrist and fingers during daytime, especially after a stressful day. The cracking gives me relief from tension. After a while, it becomes a habit.  \n\nAs for tense muscles, I do that sometimes when I stretch legs while waking up and the pain in calf muscles would be so intense, I cringe and sometimes cry.\n\nAlthough it is annoying, you can slowly get out of this habit by telling yourself it's nothing serious.

You can go to a massgae therapist as the muscle is probably tight and pinching a nerve.

yes it is normal... I try to massage my leg when the crap first happens and flex my leg back and forth. The reason is you are dehydrated or lacking potassium. Drink plenty of water and eat some bananas.. This happens to  me usually in the spring and summer. It only hurts the next day when I jerk my leg quickly to deal with th e cramp, when I am sleeping it wakes me up... \n\nEat some bananas, drink some water and award me with the points in the morning.. Promise it Will be better!

Try "progressive relaxation" by focussing on different part of your body and tightening the muscles, then focussing on relaxing the muscles. Often, you're not aware of how tense you are until you focus on relaxing. Start with your feet, then lower legs, upper legs, abdomen, hands, lower arms, upper arms, chest, neck, face... you get the idea.\n\nIf things keep coming into your head and distracting you from sleeping, close your eyes and think of laying at the beach.  Not too hot of a day, but not too cool.  Just perfect, with a pleasant breeze flowing.  Any thoughts that drift into your head, just think about them drifting out to sea so you can keep focusing on what a beautiful day it is and how relaxed you are.  Just keep thinking about the waves crashing on the shore, and how repetitive and relaxing they are.

My guess is that your hamstrings (the back of your thighs) and maybe your calf muscles are tight.  If these two muscles are not flexible, then yes, you will feel slight pain, discomfort and soreness when doing yoga.\n\nHowever, if it is a sharp pain that is immediately felt and will not go away, then there is a possibility of a muscle tear.  \n\nIf the pain subsides after a day or two, you are just experiencing soreness.  If this is the case, then yes, will frequent practice you will be able to lengthen these leg muscles and the pain should go away.  It is normal to experience a certain degree of pain when first attempting yoga poses, but in the long term if they do not go away you are either doing the poses wrong or you have injured yourself.  \n\nMake sure you take it easy on some days, to give your legs a chance to rest and recover.\n\nIn any case, always remember to respect your body's limitations and not too push too hard when doing yoga.  \n\nNamaste.

See;  Guillain-Barre.com, also check into  nih.gov (National Institute on Health), &  cdc.gov  .  Rapid onset weakness, sometimes paralyzing legs, arms, face, breathing muscles or, creating strage sensations in those areas.  It's not known what causes it.  I'm a Nurse though I no longer work....I've seen one case of it myself. I renewed my info on it at the above websites.

Back part of your neck?\n\nIt can probably be tension headache because the tension you are making on your neck muscles.\nIt seems to me you are not doing wight lifting very good. It is kinda hard for me to explain, but you have to focus your energy homogeneously with your neck, arms, abdomen, chest muscles, and not only with your neck muscles.\nTake care of yourself. Good luck

It is a nervous condition.  Really. Happens to me sometimes too. I find it useful to get away from the source of aggravation.

Odds are good you are under a lot of stress. Many people carry their tension in their upper shoulders and neck. I would suggest that you should see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

sounds like you've pulled or strained a muscle

Because they never get a break!!\n\nUntil your calves are in shape, you shouldn't work out more than every other day!\n\nTake a day or two break, then continue running on the treadmill every other day. When you feel your calves are much stronger, either increase the frequency or the time period.

I suffered from this years ago when I started my first year of marching band.  Make fun if you want, but marching band is hard work.  You do so much walking, and not normal walking either.  They taught us what they called the roll-step, which reduces the bounce in your walk, and involves pointing your toe way up in the air as you start your stride, thus stretching the calf muscle.  This was my first year of doing this, and doing it repeatedly for a few days caused me so much pain on the front of my right calf muscle that they put me on crutches the rest of the week.  After the worst of it healed, I would from the on wrap my leg from the bottom of my knee to the ankle with an ace bandage to try and support my calf and keep everthing "tight" while marching.  It still bugs me to this day if I do anything to strenuous, especially on hard surfaces, with that leg.  I was also suggested a little exercise which helps also with sore ankles.  Pretend your toe is the tip of a pen, and write the alphabet in cursive in the air with your toe.  Sound silly, but try it.

That's rough; I've had that problem a few times and it isn't any fun! You need some muscle relaxers, even mild ones are better than none, and also some pain relievers, preferebly something strong, like 800 miligram Ibuprofen. Then you need to take it easy.

i crack my neck and back regularly, but no pain.\nu might have something else. cracking mostly affects bones not muscles.

definitely stress.  dont watch TV, read, be in settings with lots of lights and/or noise for a little while. \nalso try eating a banana, its got lots of potassium as this might be a muscle issue...and muscles tend to feel much better after you give them much needed potassium.

The recurring eye twitch I was going to say could easily be a vitamin deficiency. But then I opened the question and read the details. That would be a little disconcerting. You know, it never hurts to go see your friendly neighborhood doctor and just have everything checked out occasionally. Oh I know the turn your head and cough bit is a tad uncomfortable too, but hey.........at least you don't have stirrups. Ok the point being....go see the doctor no matter what is going on in your head. And don't procrastinate because you are afraid of bad news. He'll probably tell you to start eating right and get more exercise. That feeds your brain more vitamin B and that just might take care of everything! So listen to those people that wrote above me. Make an appt. soon........but let us know how it goes.

I have...and so has others I've talked to.  Could be you have the beginning of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  There are things you can do, like slow down on the computer, use different keyboard, something to elevate your wrists.  If it gets bad you might want to  see a dr.
