You might have a clogged artery but it sounds like restless leg syndrome to me. If this problem in the leg begins to trouble you after 4 or 5 in the afternoon, either from sitting or lying down, and gets better by 4:00AM it most likely restless leg. I have had it for years and finally began taking a medication called Mirapex. My daughter has the same problem and she takes Neurontine. Both drugs have helped us tremendously. I hadn't slept through the night in years and now I am sleeping with just a little discomfort. I never feel the urge to rub or massage my legs. Good luck. I know how frustrating this condition can be. Let me know what happens.
