One leg shakes a little more than other naturally, is there any reason for this?

Dr. Ed Kaplan answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Depends: Do you live on a fault as in san francisco? If you do, then try sitting backwards and see if then the other leg shakes more. Otherwise, it's probably nothing but if it seems to worsen or become more obvious, talk to you doctor.
