A member asked:
What would cause jerky muscles all over? started two days ago; 78 y/o woman. thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: This could be due to many things, including metabolic or neurologic problems, or it could be medication-related (too much, too little, none). Are these jerky movements possibly seizures? Best to contact your doctor to find out the cause.
