Leg bothers me when I want to sleep
It's not very frequent and fairly irregular, but sometimes my leg bothers me, usually the left but sometimes both, when I'm trying to sleep. It's a weird tingling, ticklish sensation, but not the sort of tickle that feels good. It doesn't hurt, but it makes it almost impossible to get comfortable and sometimes leaves me crying from frustration and irritation. It usually occurs in the area directly around my thighs where they joint to my pelvis, but sometimes happens in my knees too. I don't think it's restless leg syndrome, but not really sure. I'm female, 16, almost 17. Thankyou!

I worked for a while as a caregiver with elderly. When changing sheets for an elderly person, they told me I would find a bar of soap under the mattress sheet they slept on, right about where the lower leg would rest and I was to put it back when done because their Dr. recommended it as a non medicine way to stop their restless leg syndrome. He just used a cheap brand and it worked for him. So if using the soap or trying the pillow between the legs doesnt help, I would a Dr. on line what types of conditions could produce these symptoms and if it sounds like something to see your Family Dr. about. Just do a search for 'online physicians', you get a quick answer but you will not get a for sure diagnosis. YOu'd still need to go see your doctor.

It could be just your legs losing circulation. Try sleeping with a pillow between your legs and stretch out if you wake up or in between sleeps
