body jerking - Neuropathy Message Board

Does anyone else on Oxycontin have trouble with their body jerking when lying down at night. As soon as I get into bed, my whole body or sometimes just my arms or legs, jerks over and over. It's very annoying. Is that because of the Oxycontin?

I do experience body jerking also, but I am not taking Oxycontin. My neurologist told me that body jerking is one of the symptoms of Nueropathy.

It sounds like you might have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) or PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder)...might wanna check those disorders out. Good luck.
