Why Do I Have A Crawling Sensations In Legs And Triceps?

having crawling sensations in legs and triceps, mostly when I lay down at night or try to relax on couch..taking a muscle relaxer called tizanidine 4mg. only at bedtime to sleep better..Tizanidine was prescribed by a pain spec. for my lower back .. when crawling sensations happen have to really stretch good to slow them down...if I lft anything fairly heavy, I know within a day or so I will have stiffness and crawling sensation.. I drink plenty of water and try to stay away from caffeine ...driving me nuts

Hi..

Your issue is due to tired muscles as well...
I recommend you to go and work for improving endurance if your muscles..
You need some salts in your body which could get replaced with ors...
Stay away from heat...and keep your core temperature Nirmal as possible...
Take warm shower at night before sleep as this will help to relax your muscles...
Drink plenty of water..
Take good care...protein diet..

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regards...
