Contact UsWhat Is Restless Leg Syndrome?
Restless leg syndrome (RLS), also known as chronic leg restlessness and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD), are sleep-related movement disorders characterized by the overwhelming urge to move legs at rest because of uncomfortable sensations in the legs. These sensations often cause people to frequently reposition their legs to help ease the feelings, hence the term "restless." Our patients often describe the experience as having unexpected urges to move their legs due to the sudden onset of symptoms, such as:
- Cramps
- "Pins and needles"
- Tingling
- Burning
- Pain
- Aching
- Throbbing
For some, tingly sensations and the constant need to move one's legs during rest may be an annoyance, but in some cases, it can get so severe that it becomes unbearable. Believed to affect more than one out of ten people, restless leg syndrome is most common in women but can be found in individuals of all ages. RLS and plmd symptoms occur during inactivity mostly in the evening and nighttime hours, disrupting a patient's sleep and daily life.
