I am so sorry you are experiencing that. I hope you call your doctor. I did not have it from surgery but I did have it one time from getting off pain pills and it was really hard to deal with.

I had that while pregnant. Per Dr it was lack of potassium. Bananas or Gatorade

I too had it as the anaesthesia and pain meds wore off, I also think it is a result of our obesity sitting on those nerves, pinching them, and as we lose weight our bodies adjust. I also think sometimes excess energy can seem like restless leg syndrome, I know the difference for sure, but now that I am lighter and more fit I have times where I've just got SO much energy, and my body just CRAVES activity and MUST MOVE. 60 seconds of intense jumping jacks usually helps.
