What Causes Body Tremors While Suffering From Acute Neuropathy In Calves And Feet?

I have body jerks thought my body n can t tell if it is muscular or nerves. I have already been diagnosed with acute neuropathy in both calves n feet although not diabetic. These jerks have increased and while I have them anytime of day or night it feels as though once I lay down the jerks become extremely active from anywhere on my body but also intensity of jerks has become increasingly stronger. Should I get a jerk in my legs while standing or walking I will lose my balance and fall at time. My last serious fall resulted in breaking 2 ribs as lacerating my spleen which necessitated surgery to remove the spleen. I don t know if this would require a visit to the dr and if so would that be my neurologist or my family dr. I would hate to feel silly seeing my dr for no reason. Because I do suffer from chronic pain I am always afraid that people think this is in my head. Thank you.

Hi .Can understand your concern.As per your query about body tremors and jerks are due to neuropathy and weakness in muscles.since you are not a diabetic ,the probable reason for it is vitamin B12 and other vit B deficiency as it plays major role in nerve conduction .It is is both neural and muscular.I strongly suggest you to take Vitamin B complex supplements daily and take aproper healthy diet with much of leafy vegetables as they contain vitamins and minerals I also suggest you to meet your family doctor without hesitation.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
