Guys, i have a quick question. if i sit still for a long time or if i am falling asleep my right leg(sometimes my left) will twitch or jerk quickly. i get this feeling like i need to move my legs. do you think i should see a docter.

 

When this happens, are you starting to dream that you are racing?
Seeing a doctor will probably be a waste of money. If you are really concerned, maybe you can search for some info on the net. Maybe try http://www.webmd.com/ or google.com

 

I think i might talk to my doc next time i go in. RLS(restless leg syndrom) is what i think it is. i have the same exact symtoms.

 

If you were a lot older I would suspect you have R.L.S. - --Restless Leg Syndrome. I wouldn't worry about unless it kept you awake most of night. There are new medications for this but you certainly wouldn't want to start on that road unless it was severe, and interrupting your sleep patterns to the point of disrupting your life.

 

it does it when i am driving. if fact its doing it right now. it does kinda sorta affect my sleeping. it just depends on how tired and stressed i am. its really annoying.

 

hey sleep whats that

 

LOL!! i am kinda wondering the same thing.about to go to bed. then decided to post this.

 

go to the gym and do some squats... your legs will be so tired and wore out, they won't twitch for nothing!

 

Guys please go to the Dr. and often. Age doesn't matter, young or getting up there.

They are pretty smart cats and can do you a world of good.
I hadn't been in years either and finally had to go because I couldn't breathe while eating.

I have 7 tumors in my throat now. and its under control through radiation.

Please don't be a hardhead like me.

 

Just saw the doctor on Friday for loss of strength in my left arm and twitching in my arm/chest. They referred me to a neurologist. Suspect some nerve issue (pinched/blocked).

Good luck,

i will call my doc monday. i haven't been to the docters in over a yr(i have been really busy)

 

Offroad, where do you carry your wallet? If it is a back pocket, sitting on it while driving can cause a leg, nerve problem. Seeing the doc not a bad thing once a year.

 

I have the same problems with my legs at night. has to do with stress the Dr told me. He gave me some meds.. *And hey there is a commercial on the TV for RLS (restless leg syndrome) Sounds like they have a new med called "Requip"* .... Anyways I tried the med the Dr. gave me and it helped, without a doubt. It really sucks whne you cant fall asleep at night, with RLS. Hope you and the Doctor can find a solution.. Good Luck

 

i keep my wallet in my right rear pocket.(and its always full) and thats the leg that bothers me!! i will leave my wallet in my front pocket tmrw.
but i will still talk to my doc

 

Wallet in the back pocket big No No...can really mess you up ask any longhauler
