Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
This could be due to venous pooling. The main reason is faulty valves of the deep veins of the leg or due to varicose veins or due to clots in deep veins.
Another possibility is Restless legs syndrome (RLS), which is a “ neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move them for relief.” You can read more about this on: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/restless_legs/restless_legs.htm
Please discuss these possibilities with your doctor.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
