Every time i have a general anaesthetic i have problems when i wake up where only my legs start shaking uncontrollably & violently. i have to have drugs to help stop it, its like they dont believe me when i say this happens. why is this happening?

I would expect that the anesthesiologist would explain the phenomenon of postop or post anesthesia involuntary movements such as shivering, myoclonus or actual seizures that some patients experience and whether the anesthetics used on you can provoke these involuntary movements
