Hi, I just spent some time with my dad and for the first time witnessed him having restless body movements. He has bee n complaining about jaw pain and numb tonge.......he also mentioned that his right arm is going numb. Last night my brother witnessed an episode that he has described as body twitches, flailing to a more severe level than I witnessed today. Any thoughts?
Hello ! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. I think that the symptoms you describe may be related to different disorders, which you should exclude. The body twitches, also called myoclonus or articulations (depending on the amplitude) may be caused by Epilepsy seizures, cervical column disorders affecting the spinal cord, Motor neuron disease, polyneuropathy etc. I would recommend consulting with the neurologist and have a good neurological examination, a full blood work, a head CT scan and an EEG. Other tests may be needed like
