Not doing well since stopping IV Rocephin. My legs shake like on automatic sometimes when moving from bed to computer. Anixety of falling down. My legs get locked up too, can't bend them, anixety sets in. Bending at the knee causes me to naturally lean on the front of the foot, but that triggers the shaking. Happens when I'm tired at latenight. Sitting in a wooden chair helps it go away after several minutes. Valium was added, helps quiet the problem. Sometimes getting in the chair require faithful dive.
My Rife Machine will arrive anyday. EMEM 5A
Is my spinal cord damaged? If I put the ball of my foot down the shake stops.

Myoclonus is I think what you are describing with the foot thing. Or actually Sustained clonus.
My legs have done that for a very long time...I use to think it was normal! I couldn't prop my foot on anything or else my whole leg would shake like a dog being scratched in the perfect place. It would stop when I put my whole foot down.

I talked to hubby about your question. His legs used to shake like they were blowing in the wind. This was before he was diagnosed. Also could feel vibrations when people walked by him. Riding in elevators was one of many things that would trigger the leg tremors.
From what several neuros and chiropractors told hubby, people have sensors in their feet which help with balance. These sensors tell the body if it is upright etc.
I do not think you have permanent damage to your spinal cord -- if that was the case your legs would probably either be paralyzed or the movement would be continuous and would not come and go.
You might have a problem with the lumbrosacral area of your back. But most likely the issue is ongoing brain inflammation. Could also be some slight peripheral nerve damage or just toxins which are interfering with nerve signals and receptor sites.
Hopefully you are still being treated with oral antibiotics. If not, then you need to find an LLMD. A chiropractic neurologist might be useful. Or foot reflexology or a full body massage.
In my opinion, this is just one indication of an ongoing illness and does not reflect permanent damage. This is not medical advice, just my opinion based on hubby's experiences.
