Why is my forearm twitching

Since yesterday my left forearm has started twitching . This happens more if my arm is Bent. The part of the arm that's around the joints twitches. I got blood tests done, my b vitamins are in range so are my sodium, chloride and magnesium. What could be the possible cause of this reaction. Which specialist should I consult with?
