My leg jerk and almost resembling a kick but it doesn't happen all the time, but does happen every day.It's involuntary and painful.I have had epilepsy since I was 11 and don't think there is a connection there because I've had grand mal and petit mal seizures and this is nothing like them.I"ve even tried to sit on my leg while in the car and almost threw myself to the driver just by the jerking motion.I will turn over during the night and get a horrible case of the hiccups. I never get the hiccups and now they wake me from a dead sleep and I may have them for 30 to 40 minutes. I also have Restless Leg Syndrome on Requip and Skelaxin for it, but it does nothing for the jerking once it starts. Other meds are Lamictal, topomax, prozac, tricor, zetia, vicoden. I have RA, RLS, Hidradenitis Suppurativa,COPD,asthma,epilepsy.

Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

i agree with the last poster.. it is better to let your doctor examine your body first..
