Why would my muscles be twitching?

My muscles have been twitching for years (7 perhaps). They aren't debilitating twitches and they don't hurt, they are mostly just annoying. Others wouldn't notice it unless they happened to be looking at the right place at the right time. I asked doctor's when they first started and they said "You are growing, it's nothing to worry about." I'm pretty sure I'm not growing anymore and they haven't stopped.

They aren't very predictable and happen more often when I'm stressed. I think they don't happen quite as much lately, but it could be that I've just gotten used to it.

What do you think it could be? Anyone else experience this?

    I have the same thing! I never thought anyone else would. It doesn't hurt but it's just there that makes it annoying, right? My muscles would twitch and there was nothing to stop it.

    For me, all I did was stretch that muscle. Mostly it would happen in my thighs, because I'm a swimmer and diver. When the muscles twitched, I pulled my leg back and stretched my quads for a couple of minutes before sitting down. Most of time it would stop from there, but sometimes (which is rare) it would come back and continue.

    Besides stretching, I would massage them with Vaporub. It works fine from there.
