Sounds like my problem. Seems to be very common but certainly can keep you up at night. My DH said even when I am sleeping, my legs "jump". Been going on for years. Doctor prescribed gabapentin (generic for neurontin ) . Helps quite a bit. Relief seems to come only when standing. Maybe the body weight pressing down on the nerves does it. As soon as I get off my feet it starts.
