Doctor Prescribed Jiggling

You know when you are on the couch and some other person sits at the other end and shakes their leg?  Yeah I know you are getting annoyed just thinking about it.  Well I do it pretty frequently, and get yelled at for it occasionally.  Well I was told by my doctor that I should jiggle my legs.  I got checked out for clotting abnormalities when they heard my dad had a clot.  Turns out I inherited the chance of blood clots.  When the doctor asked what I did for work, I told her I worked at a computer all day. Hearing that she gave me some suggestions to help keep away the clots, including the leg jiggling.  So sometimes people are doing it for health reasons, as I sit here shaking the legs.

  3. Getting up and taking walks periodically works just as well and doesn't annoy the shit out of someone who is sitting near you
