i think (my opinion) that it is a pulled muscle...like a cramp or sumthing, cuz when u get a cramp in ur leg, you flex it to pull it out....in ur case, holding it in a position and the pain stops....but iunno..

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.

Hello,\n\n    Simply, we're normally stronger in one arm!!! Hence, if your left one is stronger, the right arm will be tired first!!!\n\nBut don't worry, the more you train, the more that discrepancy will disappear!

It has to do with feedback. Whether you acknowledge it consciously or not, you are aware of the movements of your different body parts, what they are doing, etc, even if your eyes are closed. Even if you are deaf. If I remember right, this is called propiocentrics (don't quote me though). So if you touch your own arm, you not only feel your arm being touched, you feel that your hand is touching your arm, which confirms that it is you doing the touching. This is feedback.\n\nThis is why a numb limb can be very creepy. Ever wake up with your arm asleep and think someone else's arm is hanging over you? It's a rather common occurence. The feeling of numbness results partly from a lack of feedback. If your arm is numb, you can't confirm that you are touching that arm (unless you look, but that's only a substitute for sensory feebback).\n\nSo if you will notice, you can be tickled by a lot of different things. Feathers, hands, pretty muchh anything that's not too hard and pointy poking you the right way will tickle, except for your own hands. For some reason, this feedback interrupts the tickle reflex. I don't know why, but it could be because tickling is a social activity. It mihgt be something meant to be used in play, to strengthen social bonds, or it might be a way the body warns you it is being attacked. Either way, it would serve no purpose to tickle yourself. Those are just guesses though (and not very good ones).\n\nThe simplest answer is sensory feedback inhibits the tickle reflex.

yes it is normal... I try to massage my leg when the crap first happens and flex my leg back and forth. The reason is you are dehydrated or lacking potassium. Drink plenty of water and eat some bananas.. This happens to  me usually in the spring and summer. It only hurts the next day when I jerk my leg quickly to deal with th e cramp, when I am sleeping it wakes me up... \n\nEat some bananas, drink some water and award me with the points in the morning.. Promise it Will be better!

try to exercise.  Maybe you've pulled a muscle or strained one without realizing it.  Just walking should work out any problems.

Bet you physically jump when startled, too, don't you? I used to do it. Type A personality, very tense, jumpy, rattled easily, emotional? The only thing that worked was slowing down my metabolism, extra Vit. B compounds, and anti-depressants. Recently I started taking a new cholesterol med and the jumpy and shaking the leg is back. I will be asking for a change in meds but you could cut back on sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and find lots of activity to keep you moving, until you can start to get your sleep regularly. Continue to pay attention to what your body is telling you, try to slow down (take longer to eat, walk slower, dress slower), anything you can slow down enough and long enough for it to become a habit. Sorry, but the cure truly is a long hard road, and you'll probable get there when you get old anyway.

If you're bold enough to ask complete strangers on Yahoo, why aren't you able to discuss it with a doctor?  You should be seeing one anyways, at least once a year.\n\nThe bottom line is that you're probably completely normal.  \n\nAs for the discomfort you experience, think of it this way- when you stretch your legs (or any other part of your body) and you're not accustomed to stretching, there will of course be discomfort.  Why?  Your legs aren't used to flexing.  Eventually, with further stretching, the muscles in your leg become flexible.  This is the same for every other part of your body.\n\nYes, I am a man.  So what?  Does that mean I'm not allowed to have knowledge or insight into these things?  \n\nI don't understand why others think questions like these are "gross".  Let's get a little mature here.

Not only does it pinch the blood vessels and cause your butt muscles (gluteus maximus etc) to starve, but you are also pinching off nerves which is why it can get numb.  Sometimes if you stand up after that long journey your feet get really tingly, it's for that same reason, blood is rushing through causing the sensation...it also feels really wierd.

It sound like you have something misaligned on your spine.\nYour lower veribra have nerves leading to your leg. Go to the doctor because nerves can be damaged with time.

If you feel like you are going to fall, then your equilibrium might be off.  You should have a physical done soon to get checked out.

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.

Hi, Firstly sex is not a bad habit, It may help you with your nervous problems, I think you have an excitable/stressed nature,that would account for your height/weight ratio, That appears a bit too small, I think you may have high blood pressure, this would acount for dialiation of your veins, You did not indicate if you are Male or Female, but whatever the case (TOO Thin) Eat more, you should be at least another 12/15 Kgs.  See your Doctor.But don't worry. Are you taking exams?
