I get like that sometimes with my legs. Normally it is my body telling me I need some potassium. So I will eat a banana and it helps. I also know when my blood sugar runs high, they seem to bother me too. That is how I found out I had diabetes. If it continues you I would check with your Dr. You might have a disc out of place in your back. Take Care! Hugs Julie

I have read there is an actual disorder called Restless Leg Syndrome that needs a Dr. to diagnose. Please contact your PCP and see what they say. Best of luck, Darla

yeah i thought about that but i had a sleep study recently and i would think that would have showed up during that besides from what i heard the restless leg syndrome happens while sleeping and most are not aware of it i cannot get to sleep because of the pain and restlessness thanks for the advice maybe i'll just go see doc soonier then i planed i dunno
