A member asked:

I get legs vibrations and occasionally leg twitches but it comes and goes. better with exercise. can it be sciantica?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sciatica: Sciatica is pain radiating from lower back down one or both legs into the distal limb or foot. It can get worse with straining or coughing/ sneezing. You describe sensations or actions, not pain, so not sciatica. See your doctor or use our concierge service to uncover causation.
