Restless Leg Syndrome

What Is Restless Leg Syndrome?

According to the Medilexicon's medical dictionary, restless legs syndrome is "a sense of indescribable uneasiness, twitching, or restlessness that occurs in the legs after going to bed, frequently leading to insomnia, which may be relieved temporarily by walking about; thought to be caused by inadequate circulation or as a side effect of some SSRIs and other psychotropic medications".

If you have RLS (restless legs syndrome) you have a disorder which causes a strong urge to move your legs. This urge is frequently accompanied with strange and unpleasant sensations in your legs. Patients say the only way to relieve those unpleasant feelings is to move their legs.

The following words are from patients as they describe the unpleasant feelings in their legs which trigger their urge to move them:
Aching
Burning
Crawling
Creeping
Electric shocks
Itching
Tugging
Tingling
Some patients experience those sensations in their arms as well.

A significant number of patients say the sensations occur when they are resting or inactive, and not exclusively after they go to bed. Symptoms tend to worsen in the evening and at night, and are often relieved for a short while in the morning.
