What Causes A Twinge In The Leg While Lying Down?
I am 56 woman and have been working out and doing yoga for about a year and have loset 70 lbs. 2 nights ago I started to get this twinge in the right side in one spot. It only happens when I lye down. I have sciatica but I didnt think that this could be the problem. Whatever it is is seems to be near the surface muscle.

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of benign fasciculations (BFS). There is no need to worry, as it is not a serious condition. It would stop on its own. It commonly occurs due to muscle exertion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
