Hello. I'm not sure whether this is
related to the neurological disorders but
hopefully somebody can help.
my friend's mother who is 80 year olds
fell down a few years ago and diagnosed
for the vertebra fracture (T8-10). But
after that she is fine and she can walk as
normal.
2 months ago she started to feel pain at
the lower back and the MRI shows that L3-5
fractures (this time she didn't have any
trauma)
after 2 weeks of bed resting, she started
to be unable to walk. And both of her legs
jerk at least 10 times per hour,
especially getting serious in mid night,
which makes her difficult to sleep. The
jerk is vigorous, and always need her
family to pull them straight. We've
consulted different doctors but they just
can't find out what happened. All of them
tell that it's not life threatening and so
there is no treatment. Can anyone suggest
me the possible illness of this so that we
can find some specialsts to help my
friend's mother?
