My Mom has Alzeheimers disease, mid to late stages. About a month ago she started with the legs jerking. They also jerk when she walks. I am wondering if this is part of the progression of Alzheimers. The only time she does not jerk very much is when we can occupy her mind with something else for a short period of time like letting her read newspaper ads. She also has had neck surgery several years ago and her neck hurts her most of the time and I can only imagine how bad that must hurt her neck with the jerking. We can medicate her to stop the jerking but it also puts her in a dangerous state of almost unconsciousness. Any ideas??
Thank You

Hi there, I think that she may have had a slight stroke or something if her legs jerk like that--that or, she may also be suffering from something like restless leg or parkinsons. Do you think you could have her go to the doctor about this?
My muscles and legs are jerking, I can't get any sleep. What's going on? How can I stop this?
