Why does my leg twitch everytime i lay down whether its elevated or not.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No simple answer: Begin by determining what part of your leg (one leg, right?) is twitching. Most likely will not be all of leg but will be some part of leg. Determine if there is other function disturbance (sensation, weakness). If possible, take video of the twitching to show doctor. Report findings to your doctor. Possibilities depend on distribution, associated symptoms, other aspects of your health.
