Muscle spasms and uncontrollable jerking of the limb(s), weakness and a slow response time are all a part of RSD. Pretty much everyone with RSD has an issue with this and takes a muscle relaxer to help stop the spasms and jerking. Of course, as with everything else to do with RSD, we all experience it to a different degree.

I take baclofen and it has stopped the jerking of my arms and legs and I may get some annoying muscle spasms once or twice a month. I consider it my miracle drug and glad I don't have to end up hurting more cause of things jerking so long and so hard.
