Do you have any suggestions on a twitching leg/foot when you’re trying to fall asleep? Once I fall asleep, I am okay, but I think it’s my heightened anxiety at night.

Oh! For relief before getting meds, try putting something that vibrates (I used the base of my electric toothbrush) under the leg/foot that tends to move. It helped me, though the vibration of the thing was annoying when I woke up later.
There is a medication specifically for restless leg syndrome. I took it for a few months to counteract side effects of another drug. It worked well and didn't have side effects of it's own

Truth: I suffer from leg cramps OFTEN. Ex: I had a beef patty cheese and a whack coco bread. That had no nutrition whatsoever so if you're eating crappy the leg cramps will get cha. I take calcium w/ vitamin D3, Magnesium 500, leg cramps pills from Hyland find at Walgreens 3 diff types, Oregano and garlic capsules plus Magnesium spray and my compound for my spondylolisthesis and I'll still get cramps while I'm asleep. When I eat bad I notice I get bad leg cramps. Also drinking hot water helps me or an Epson salt bath with essential oil may help

Thank you everyone. I am very sick right now, and I’m on antibiotics. I have to rest, so I won’t be on here until I am feeling stronger. Thank you again
@Lindsey_Bug you got this 🙌 hope you feel better soon Lindsey 😊
Also look into calcium with vitamin D3, I have leg cramps pills and or restless leg syndrome from a company called Hyland found them in Walgreens or on Amazon
Restless leg syndrome possibly.

@Gemini573 my thoughts exactly
Google magnesium and leg twitching in case that could support (but def check with your doctor)
@SandyBeaches totally agree! I get terrible leg cramps. I bought magnesium lotion & take it orally too. You might check into leg pillows. Are you sure you are not twitching because of medication? There are approximately 7 meds that cause me to shake & twitch, even face twitching. It can become permanent so you need to check w your Dr.
Try laying in different positions or elevating your legs a little
It could be.. I have twitching literally everywhere so I don’t know to be honest 😥
