Default Feel like I took earthquake pills
does anyone else have this problem after moving around a lot or exercising? Both my legs will violently tremble for a little while after I walk a bit or if I exercise. Makes yoga fun, and I feel like wile coyote.

Don't know if it's just because I'm starting to get myself moving again or if this is something I should talk to my doc about. It's one of those confusing moments on what to do.

Thanks for listening.

I would get like that after walking on the treadmill. It sort of felt like I was walking on one of those swinging bridges! It calmed down after a bit but for the few minutes following my walk it was definitely shaky!

Yes, Fin, I have that. I think it's caused by the sudden and strenuous activity. Like shocking the nerves or something. Stretching after exercize helps.

Jim has this too. If I even move a leg it jerks like that. Usually a good massage helps calm them down.

(I have tremors so I am an earthquake )

My legs, after exercising or a long walk, feel like they have worms just under the skin crawling up and down.

I don't know how else to describe it but it is a very strange sensation for sure.

Has anyone else noticed when you have a really unique symptom going on others have it too so it is no longer unique; it is just "normal" for us.

I have what feel like internal tremors -- shaking all over inside. It mainly affects me in the evening.

Happens if I do a new kind of exercise that is difficult for me to do (yoga is one of them) or if I overstrain myself.

FinLady, does it feel like a lactic-acid build up feeling?
I have no dx, but I get this feeling sometimes when my sx's flair up, and I'm walking around too much (at the mall). It's combined with a stiff thigh feeling kind of....

Once I woke up in the night thinking there'd been an earth tremor!! I asked friends the next day, and there hadn't been one... I must have been tremoring.. very weird, as I was asleep.

Don't get the burning feeling or pain that one usual feels when that happens. My arms can get that way, but don't feel it in my legs. Just weakness and the leg shakes. (hubby has begun to nickname me "the bunny")

They are similar to tremors, but faster and more short lived then the ones I've experienced in the past. But the more I think about it, the more I guess it's from movement. Possibly muscle fatigue.

Thanks everyone for your input!!!!
