What causes tingling in the legs?

Answer 1

This can be a type of parasomnia event known as a hypnic jerk. You may be falling asleep and then your body or leg jerks for seemingly no reason. It may be startling the first few times it happens, but it is normal and mostly harmless. I say mostly because you could pull a muscle.

Now, if you have severe jerking, pulling, tightness in body parts, and particularly difficulty in moving the head and jaw, it could be a medical emergency, especially if you suffered a recent puncture wound or deep lacerating injury. Those symptoms can be consistent with a tetanus infection. If you have had tetanus shots, the symptoms could be mild to moderate, but if you are not vaccinated for tetanus, then it can be severe. Severe tetanus can cause muscle tearing, tendon damage, and dislocation injuries. Someone with severe tetanus would be having a medical emergency and may need to be placed in intensive care. Tetanus shots at that point may be beneficial, though it may be too late to help. Care for severe tetanus may include being given a paralytic drug to cause paralysis while the infection clears, and if one is given such a drug, it would mean being placed on a ventilator to breathe for the patient, since the breathing muscles would be paralyzed as long as the drug is administered.

Answer 2

It can be several things including circulation problems, nerve problems, Diabetes, thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune problems, certain cancers, trapped nerves or spine problems and just normal tingling from sitting in certain positions. You should see your doctor.
