Could mean you have a pinched nerve or you may need some potassium (bananas are a great source of this).

Typically leg cramping is caused by a tendency for the muscle to be a little tighter that it should.  The more common reason is if there is an imbalance of the electrolytes in your blood stream.  Calcium/magnesium supplements can help, as well as drinking more water and stretching.

It can be several things. The most probable is magnesium or potassium deficit or restless leg syndrome

May be you have become weak and your leg is vibrating sometimes because of weakness. Check out your doc if you think that is the case.

I get exactly the same thing! The toe next to the big one seises up with cramp and crosses underneath. I cant stop it, and it really hurts doesnt it! None of my friends get it, is it just us? There is this good site which expains a bit about it, dont worry tho, you are not alone!

I have a child w/ Von Willebrand and no running should not cause your legs to have pain.  You should go to your regular doc and talk to them.

The most common cause of leg cramps (besides over-exercising) is inadequate potassium, and sometimes calcium.  Start by eating more bananas or taking supplements and if that doesn't help, then see a doctor.

I also have had leg cramps, my doctor told me I needed more potassium in my diet i.e. bananas and such.  Hope this helps!

You may have symptoms or Restless Leg Syndrome. Only a Dr. can diagnose it, not people on Yahoo. If you feel like you have to move around alot, it keeps you, feels wiggly and crampy this may be it. It could also be a lack of potassium. Try eating some bananas before you self diagnose someone. BTW RLS is a sleep disorder, so if that's they way you look you need to see a sleep specialist.

increase Ur water intake so that the blood and everything flows freely....u could have deep vein thrombosis which is clotted veins in the feet that do not let circulation of the blood pass through efficiently enough

I have the same problem.  Doctor says it is caused by a lack of potassium, calcium, and not enough hydration.  I started eating a banana just before bedtime, and I make myself drink more water and Gatorade throughout the day, and I am not having those twitchy leg problems at night anymore.

An abscence of healthy salts in your system could be causing the leg cramps.\n\nTry drinking 1 tblspoon of sea salt in a tall glass of distilled water three times a day.

Try drinking milk before going to bed sometimes that helps me.  Also, it might be Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) you should mention it to your doctor.  There might be something s/he can do to help.

Do you mean muscle cramp?  If so, it's usually an electrolyte imbalance, caused by sweating too much during exercise without replenishing electrolytes.  A good energy drink, taken regularly during exercise, should help avoid it.
