A member asked:

Occasionally one of my legs will start to shake like i can feel it shaking and then i can fell a pulse sensation in my leg why is this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tremor: If you're experiencing true involuntary tremors of your leg, I recommend a consultation with a neurologist. In addition to a thorough neurological examination other appropriate tests will be ordered and may include testing calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels, electroencephalogram, cranial mri.
