It is been 4 month i have jerks before falling asleep.yesterday my eeg was abnormal.last year i did an mri it was normal. do i need another mri?

Restless Leg Syndrom: I don't think an MRI will help. If it was normal then it's not worth repeating. Depends on what the EEG showed. If they think it's seizures then they should repeat it again. Jerks before falling asleep are normal with restless leg syndrome.
