Day and night when sitting down and laying down my feet will shake. I can stop when I notice them shaking then they start again with out me notice. This has been going on for about 10 years.

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Do you mean restless leg syndrome? Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder of the part of the nervous system that causes an urge to move the legs. Because it usually interferes with sleep, it also is considered a sleep disorder. People with restless legs syndrome have uncomfortable sensations in their legs (and sometimes arms or other parts of the body) and an irresistible urge to move their legs to relieve the sensations. The condition causes an uncomfortable, "itchy," "pins and needles," or "creepy crawly" feeling in the legs. The sensations are usually worse at rest, especially when lying or sitting.

Have you ever seen a doctor about your feet?
