Muscle jerking
Last night when i was about to sleep my body felt a sudden jerk and i was unable to sleep for some time. This happened to me in the past but not frequently. What is this situation? Untill Last week i was in medication for lower back pain and used painkillers. Is this because of the drug effect or something else?
