hi Sassy

I have a problem with jerking. Mine has nothing to do with surgery.

I started jerking and having tremors. My neurologist told me that they are 

seizures. He put me on mysoline. It has stopped my jerking and tremors.

I do not know how it is related to your surgery. I recommend you ask

your neurologist if the jerking increased your seizure activity. Also ask

him/her if you need medicine for it.
