's new dr. and muscle spasms

[Guest guest]

Congratulations on finding a doctor!!!! Yes, you

have a waiting period, but the other wasn't even

willing to try, so this is a definite improvement!

You mentioned tremors and twitches. I didn't have

them before, but since my surgery, when I am sleeping,

and more and more while I am awake but sitting

(usually on the computer) I will have a sort of spasm

in my right leg. Once or twice when lying in bed

sleeping it felt like I jumped 6 inches off the

mattress.. weird, huh? I wonder if that is due maybe

to nerves healing as it didn't start immediately after

surgery, but a couple or three weeks later and isn't

all the time.

God bless you, and you keep on going!!!
