SInce having surgery a few days ago I am frequently having leg, arm, head, foot jerks while falling asleep that jerks me awake. It happens every time I relax. Has anyone experienced this?

I did! the first week post op. but it kinda just went away after awhile.

Freaking annoying when you're so tired and wakes up everytime you just fell alseep..

hang in there, it will be over in no time

Maybe it is a side effect of the pain meds? I'm glad it goes away because it is was not a normal occurence prior to surgery!

I didn't have any pain meds post surgery. I would think its the anesthesia?
