A member asked:
What would it be called when a persons legs shake at night and then stiffen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Restless legs: This could be one possibility. See your physician and describe exactly your symptoms, have some blood tests done, especially iron to make sure that you are not iron deficient. Sometimes underlying sleep disorders may be present and people undergo sleep studies. As always there are a myriad of reasons this may happen. Good luck.
