What Causes Leg Pain After Lying Down?
Hi Thank you for your time. I have recently noticed, especially when I lay down or am sleep some shooting pains going down my legs. I then have to try to get comfortable again but it still seems to continue to happen. I am trying to figure out what this could be.

Hello
This sounds like restless leg syndrome and a medication called Requip can be very effective for that so I suggest you discuss this with your doctor to see if he thinks a prescription for the Requip would be warranted here
