I have recently developed a twitching in my right leg in the evenings and when I go to bed. It doesnt happen when I go to sleep just when I am resting. Its not painful just very irritating.
Anyone else experienced this?

Restless legs are common but more common to be both legs and more than a twitch.
Could be a trapped nerve, maybe restricted circulation if only when you're resting? Or muscles going a bit mad. Have you been doing any exercise or such beforehand or drinking caffine?
Could be anxiety, are you stressing about something?
Best to get it checked out to be sure though.

Not been doin any extra exercise and havent got a Wii so I cant blame those Im afraid.
I will go and get it checked out in case there is an underlying health issue, just wondered if anyone else experienced it really.
I have heard of restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder too which it sounds more like it could be. May be linked to caffeine, I dont drink coffee but I drink more tea than I used to.
Thanks for your thoughts on the subject.

Must confess I have this. Have not been to the doctors. I find that a foot twitches especially when I am tired. It is very annoying. Have got out of bed in the past and bathed feet in cool water!! Even wrapped a damp cold towel round the feet. Cannot be down to caffine both tea and coffee decaf.
Maybe it is an age thing. Everything else is put down to age. Good Luck
