How can I treat restless leg syndrome?
user
Restless leg syndrome is a neurological disorder where you experience unpleasant sensations in your legs, often just prior to or during sleep.  Usually patients find that the symptoms are worse in the evening or during the night.  The sensations cause the legs to move, which can make it hard to sleep.

These symptoms are often a sign of other health conditions, so if you find that you have symptoms of other problems, you might want to see a doctor to determine whether these other conditions are affecting your nervous system.

It would be great if you could get tested to check for these conditions.  Once you know for sure if any of them apply, you can decide which ones to treat, if you wish.
