Should I Be Concerned For The Trembling Of Legs While Sleeping?

Hello, recently my daughter has woken me up as I am lying on the couch with my feet at her end because after I fall asleep my legs tremble. I am a runner and 6 days a week excersicer. I do have a condition called Neurological Foramin Narrowing but continue exercising. Every 2 months I get an epidural (cortisone) in my right lower lumbar. Should I be concerned? Thank you.
