Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a nervous system disorder caused by disturbed sensory neurons in the brain that can cause an irresistible urge to move one's legs. Symptoms may include an uncomfortable sensation in the legs, feeling of restlessness, and involuntary jerking or twitching of the legs. People with RLS typically experience worse symptoms at night and in situations of rest. RLS can cause other health issues such as daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and depression. Treatment for RLS typically involves lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and stress reduction, as well as medications. Left untreated, RLS can lead to poor quality of life and negatively affect a person's daily activities.
