Symptoms Of Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome is a condition characterized by an uncontrollable need to move one's legs. This is typically caused by a sensation of discomfort. Episodes of restless leg syndrome generally happen during the evening or the night when sitting or lying down trying to sleep. When individuals move, there's a temporary easing of the unpleasant feeling. The syndrome may start at any age, and it tends to get worse with age. It can make it difficult to get to sleep or stay asleep, which can in turn cause disruptions in an individual's daily functioning. Certain steps for self-care and lifestyle changes sometimes help.
