A member asked:
What could be causing this nerve twitchy/mini cramp feeling in my left leg?... leg feels stiff and strange when im in bed trying to sleep..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Requires diagnosis: From the brief description of the symptoms it could be either a calcium deficiency that can cause muscle cramps, an associated neuropathy or some variant of a restless leg syndrome. If it's occurring mostly at night/only while in bed it sounds more like RLS. See your PCP to rule out any other possible neuropathic causes.
