Kicking legs while asleep related to ACL injury?

[SweetJem]

Ok this may sound kinda weird, but ive never experienced this before.

Ever since I've injured by Left knee acl, Ive noticed that I kick my left leg while i'm asleep. Well, not in the middle of the night i notice it more in the morning while I'm about to wake up. It's involuntary, i try to stop it but it wont. It doesnt happen all the time or maybe im just in a really deep sleep and dont notice it.

Could it be related to my ACL injury coz it's only my left leg...????

Hi
I haven't ever heard of it but I guess it could be related, maybe due to muscle spasm/cramping or just your nervous system moving the knee in response to pain or other sensations.
