Involuntary Leg Movement-brought on from knee injury?

High I tore my PCL, LCL, part of my hamstring and my ACL partially, I also fractured part of my tibia. Any extreme movement in the knee is painful as you can imagine. Anyway I was sleeping last night and woke up around 6:30, when I woke up my bad knee shot forward, putting me in an extreme amount of pain. Does anyone know what this could be from?

one incident isn't enough to go by, but it could be a symptom of restless leg syndrome or it could be a myoclonic jerk.

if it happens again, check out any meds you're on and see if these are listed as side affects. hopefully you won't experience this again.
