With the electrodes on your legs is it possible you held yourself in an unnatural position and pulled the muscles?

You were sleeping on a different bed than you normally sleep on. Any chance the mattress was to soft or hard resulting in pressure point, sciatic nerve inflammation or something along those lines? Can't think of anything otherwise that is done during a sleep study that could cause pain

Never had that problem, but, when I left my sleep study I had a flat tire. (I can't blame the sleep study.....can I?)

It would be helpful if you could be very specific with the description of your pain. The details could help your doctor decide if it is muscle, nerve, joint or circulation related and if you need further evaluation for your leg pain. The after effects of sleeping awkwardly to accomodate the wires is my first thought. But I would want to be sure nothing else is going on that just happened to coincide with the study. Was this a diagnostic study or titration?

It's a conspiracy! They put a hole in your tire to keep you there and make you do a two night study. You should have asked if they worked for Astrocorp (from the TV show Touch, which is probably cancelled...unfortunately). I'd contact the FBI. LOL.
