A member asked:

What causes my legs to tingle when i lay down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Restless legs: Legs tingle from multiple causes. Could be a condition called restless leg syndrome or it could be neuropathy. You also might have an allergic skin condition or even psoriasis. Do you have diabetes? Do y9u fel the need to move the legs to relieve the tingling?
