What to do if i wake from sleep with leg pain is the arthiritis or trapped nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The location of the pain (joint or between joints), whether it feels better to move it or not, whether the pain radiates or spreads to other areas, and what makes it better or worse are all questions your doctor will ask to try to determine the likely cause of your pain. See your doctor if it continues or worsens over a few days.
