hello doris tucker, yes i get this an awfull lot, but its caused through nerve damage in my back. have you any back problems? and this could be coinsedence, or have you hurt your back in anyway? give it some thought doris, it could possibly, i dont know, be cpap related, but it does sound an awfull lot like nerve damage. ask your gp if it doesnt clear up soon.
i have heard of people getting restless legs when on cpap dont leave it to long doris... jean

I get this too sometimes, but I have other health problems, and blamed it on something else. Hadn't thought about the CPAP or sleep apnea possibly being involved. Would like to see if anyone else has this problem.
