Posture while...: 39 y/o says My left leg is painful especially in the morning when I wake up? Tends to be due to one's posture while lying down. Sometimes also due to the firmness or weakness of the mattress. Might also be good to review what changes one made prior to noticing these symptoms and see the PCP or Experienced Chiropractor for possible realignment of legs Hips and legs.

Leg Cramps: This can be postural, however consider factors such as daily exercise, diet (electrolytes). Dehydration could cause of muscle cramps. Several medicines may cause muscle cramps. Ruling out venous and/or arterial issues, nerve compression could be a consideration. Sometimes cramps can be stopped if the muscle can be stretched. If this persists consult your doc for an examination.
