Stretch in right leg

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

There are times at night my sleep gets disrupted and I need to stretch my right leg (especially), and that gives relaxation. May I know what could be the reason? Is it lack of calcium or other reason? I do sit with my legs crossed on bed a lot of time too.

You might have tightness in your hamstrings, which are the muscles in the back of your thigh, which itself can be due to a number of reasons, so more information is required to be sure. But going by the most common scenario it might just be a lack of regular stretching and you should focus on some regular exercises.

Next Steps

See if hamstring stretching exercises couple of times a day bring down the discomfort, if not, to seek help with a more detailed description of your symptoms.

Health Tips

Don't do exercises yet if you also have symptoms of nerve stretch like numbness, tingling etc.
