It's really odd, at random times, mostly during the times i think about it. I have to move my legs, my neck or arms in weird ways because i have a strong urge.. I realize this may just be a nervous habit, but does anyone know otherwise?

~Thanks

Answer:

blood circulation. let your doctor check it out.

you may have RLS, restless leg syndrome. Some people are edgy though...lay off the meth would be my first suggestion though.

I think mostly you have fallen into the habit, like you said and feel comfortable whenever you do stretch; it isn't any different than a nervous twitch or OCD, just a milder form.

Nothing worth worrying about, I crack my neck all the time for the same reasons

You can see a doctor.

If it is RLS and sleep is severely disrupted, medications such as Sinemet (an anti-Parkinson's medication) or tranquilizers such as clonazepam may be helpful to some people, but they may worsen daytime sleepiness in others. Low doses of Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has been found to be very effective in controlling symptoms in some people.

Sometimes low doses of narcotics will relieve symptoms of restless leg syndrome as well.

If it is just a habit(most likely) there are ways to use muscle relaxation techniques and stress reduction techniques.
