A jerk in the body, especially in the leg, can be a symptom of Restless Leg Syndrome, which can be ?ætreated with medication. It can also be a normal reaction to the body trying to relax itself.

  • Reactions to medications can cause arms and body to jerk.
  • Neurological problem could cause it.
  • An undiagnosed disease can be causing the problem.
  • Extremely rarely some people can have body twitches due to stress, fear, or other emotional problem.
  • Reaction to food additives have been the culprit too.
  • Lack of exercise and being out of shape can do it too.
  • The condition has to be examined by a neurologist. To see a neurologist you must go to a general practitioner first. So go to the doctor.
