a rythmic shaking of the leg sometimes relaxes me...so yes...i would say its because of nervousness or anxiety.

Shaking Legs While Sitting

I can only speak for myself. If I'm jiggling my leg in public (or at home) it's likely because my anxiety is high. I can't really control it. If it's not my leg then it's some other part of my body that's moving. I might even rock back and forth. There's a quote from the Bible ... Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I don't shake my leg to be rude. I'd be ever so happy to not have to deal with this d****d anxiety! But it's a fact of life I have to live with. I'll bet you have some habit or other that people may not like. I hope you'll try to be more accepting of the differences in others. God bless!

I don't necessarily think it's a sign of either. There could be many reasons why someone is shaking their legs: medical reasons, side effects from medication, uncomfortableness from sitting or being still, the inability to sit still, and, yes, nervousness among others.
While it can be distracting or annoying that people shake their legs, I don't think many people are aware that they're even doing this. I doubt it's intentional but rather an impulse that is so strong it's difficult to control.

It is a fact that no one condition reflects sciatica and it would be prudent to refer to it as a generic medical term encompassing lots of symptoms that taken together describe a lower back pain that a patient suffers from. When someone complains of severe back pain that passes down to legs through his buttocks, even down to his feet and toes, doctors suspect him to be suffering from sciatica. Often sciatica presents itself as numbness or a tingling sensation that may not be anything like the severe pain commonly associated with sciatica. This tingling or numbness may be felt by the person when he engages in some activities.
On this site you can find very good tips on how to treat your sciatica: http://curesciatica.toptips.org

I don't think shaking legs is rude. Some people can't help it. It can be involuntary and come from nerves, anxiety, or some medical condition. It might just be a way to make them more comfortable in an unfamiliar setting. I don't think it's meant to offend anyone though.

shaking yor legs can be alot of things. you could be nervous, but i do it all the time and i don't even really know i am doing it. i have a lot of energy and that is my way of getting it out when i can't go run. i don't think anyone should think it is rude, because everyone has something they do that is unique. some always play with their hair, some move their hands around all the time. some figit. if they are purposly trying to piss you off then that is one thing, but some dont realize they are doing it.

It's natural, and it's not rude.
Some people do it out of nervousness. But (more commonly) there are nerve endings on certain points at the bottom of your feet, and some people put pressure on those points naturally when they sit down, causing their leg to shake.
