Hi! Apart from disc problems in the back and anxiety and panic attacks quivering and twitching can be due to several causes. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance muscle fatigue pinched nerve due to wrong posture could be the cause in your case. Try and use the correct posture while sitting and walking and consult a physical therapist regarding some stretch exercises which you can perform to help relieve tension. If this does not help then I would suggest you get the blood levels of the following checked if they have not already been checked: potassium calcium sodium magnesium vitamin B complex or vitamins B1 B3 or B6 and Vitamin D. Generally deficiencies of any of the above can cause muscle twitching and spasms in localized or generalized areas of the body. Get your kidney function parathyroid gland function and adrenal function tests done because these affect the electrolyte balance in the body. Stress alcohol caffeine and fatigue all cause similar symptoms. Hence if you take alcohol or coffee then cut this down. Sleep at regular hours and see if it helps. Certain sleep disorders and peripheral nerve disorders due to diabetes Lyme's lupus or hypothyroidism can also be the cause. Also you may need a MRI to rule out pinched nerves. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care! I sincerely hope you will find this information useful in your journey towards better health.
