What Can Cause Pain In The Leg While Sleeping?

For the past two nights, when sleeping, my left leg causes me extreme pain. To get the pain to subside, I must get up and walk and around and stand for 30+ minutes. I am then able to sit in a chair with leg extended out which greatly reduces the pain. If I lay down again, the pain returns shortly.
I do not smoke, dring, not obese, and take 5 mg of paravasit everyother day.

Hello,
It sounds like you may be having muscle spasms. Try a warm bath or shower before bed. Drink plenty of water during the day. Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol. Stretch your muscles out every day. Take a multivitamin. If these measures do not help then you should see a doctor for blood tests and exam.
