I have these twitches also, wakes me up from dead sleep at times but very
noticable when I'm just watching TV...really strange, yes...Joe

Oh, no pain involved, just twitching and at times almost jumping...

It dawned on me a week or two ago that 3 doctors had confirmed a
diagnosis for what I am going through and apparently I mentally blocked
it out till I started having these horrid muscle jerks. You all might
call them twitching, but these are more.. *MORE* than twitching! My body
jerks to where the bed moves, it wakes me up it starts in my legs and
goes to my buttock back, shoulders, head arms neck etc. it's annoying and
hard for me to sleep because of it.

Anyway I digress.. Apparently from what I'm reading this is like a bad
sentence on life or something it's called Arachnoiditis I have no idea of
what to expect from this. I just know it's supposed to be pretty scary..
Anyone know anything about it? BTW I got approved for the SCS Trial but
my psych doc disapproves from a lot of stuff going on at work. pain is
starting to get worse every day and these twitching/jerking things are
not helping anything.

Scary!  From what I read, almost anyone here could have contracted this
ailment from either tests or surgeries for spinal problems:http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article180.html

I'd never heard of this before SD posted. This (IMHO) is a good
article. Even better is the link spaghetti (if you catch my drift)
that follows it. Lots more good info that seems to be presented in
terms & ways most can understand (even me ;-) Now don't everyone go
all hypochondriac at once... Thanks for the 411 CN.

Oh, the pain... THE PAIN...
