Nerve irritation: Hi Paula, the most likely explanation is that you have put pressure on one of the nerves of your leg whilst you were asleep. Chances are that this will gradually get better over the next 12 hours, see your doctor if not. You also need to see a doctor if you have a fever (over 37.8 C), have decreased feeling to the area around your bottom, have difficulty moving your leg or if you use IV drugs.
