A member asked:
When i lay down at night i feel little painless spasms in my thighs and legs, i shake my legs because of anxiety what could this be?

Leg spasm & Anxiety: It is not clear from your question if you are shaking your legs from anxiety on a regular basis or if you shake your legs when you go to bed and notice the spasm. If it is because you regularly shake your legs then that may be related to the minor spasms at the end of the day when at rest. Be Well, Dr. G
