Leg feeling like it got stabbed in the middle of the night?!


Question: Leg feeling like it got stabbed in the middle of the night.?
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, and your half asleep, and then you stretch your leg a little and then all of a sudden your leg hurts like, hell.?.? Like someone stabbed it in the muscle.? Because that happens to me whenever I stretch my legs when I'm half asleep. One time I tried to walk when I was really, really tired and I fell over. Is there something wrong with my leg.? It normally only happens in the right leg.Health Question & Answer

Sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome which happens to people at anytime but mostly at night. It is described as the worst muscle spasm they've ever felt. It is quite simple to treat by taking Quinidine supplements or you can also drink Tonic Water which also contains Quinidine. There are lots of theories ranging from deficiencies in the body to meds someone is on but no 100 % proof. It's a benign but painful thing to suffer with. Good luck!!Health Question & Answer
