Hi Doctors, My husband is facing a weird problem wherein he experiences sudden jerk or involuntary movement of his left leg when he is about to fall asleep. He went through a core decompression surgery on both hip joints and is on bed rest currently. Involuntary leg movement started after 4days of surgery. He feels sudden jerk while falling asleep. Also he feels his left leg is weak and has tingling sensation. Please suggest whom should we contact. Thanks!
