Restless Leg Syndrome
People with RLS experience an uncomfortable feeling in the legs, coupled with a strong compulsion to move the limbs and alleviate the symptoms. The feeling happens most often at night, during periods of rest or inactivity. Most have symptoms that are mild and can be managed with self-care and better sleep habits.
