Introduction to Restless Leg Syndrome

The Mayo Clinic describes Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) as the sensation in the legs such as crawling, tingling, cramping, creeping, pulling, electric and at times aching usually occurring during night or rest time. Medical professionals attribute these symptoms to nervousness, stress or insomnia however the root of RLS is still unknown.

Short Description of Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome or RLS is a kind of nervous system disorder that results in an uncontrollable urge to move one’s legs. Since the condition often times interferes with the normal pattern of sleep, the disease is also considered a type of sleep disorder as well.

Symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome

• The chief symptom of the condition is an unusual desire to move the legs.
• Unusual itching, tingling or crawling sensation deep within the legs
• Restlessness

About Restless Leg Syndrome

RLS or Restless Legs Syndrome is a health condition that causes the patient to feel the urge to move their legs usually as a result of an uncomfortable sensation. The disorder is more common in the evening or during the nighttime hours when the patient is sitting or lying down. Movement can get the unpleasant feeling temporarily to lessen.

Restless Legs Syndrome is characterized by:

• Sensations that start after rest – Symptoms begin after the patient is lying down or is seated for a prolonged period of time.
• Relief with Movement – The uncomfortable sensations of RLS are lessened when the patient starts to move about such as jiggling the legs, walking and pacing.
• Worse Symptoms during Evening Hours – People with RLS symptoms often report getting it mostly at night.
• Nighttime Leg Twitching – RLS is also associated with periodic limb movement of sleep.

The symptoms of RLS that normally occurs within the limb rather than on the skin itself are referred to as:

• Creeping
• Pulling
• Throbbing
• Crawling
• Aching
• Itching
• Electric

Etiology of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

Most of the time doctors find there is no real cause for RLS but many researchers theorize that the condition might be caused by an imbalance of the chemical neurotransmitter in the brain called dopamine.

Genetics

There is evidence to suggest that Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) do run in families especially if symptoms develop before age forty.

Risk Factors

Restless Legs Syndrome can occur at any age and you can get it even in childhood. The disease does occur more commonly in people with increasing age and is more in women than men. The disease is sometimes associated with other health conditions such as:

• Peripheral Neuropathy – This disease damages the nerves of the hands and feet and is closely associated with chronic health problems like alcoholism and diabetes.
• Iron Deficiency – Even without the anemia part, iron deficiency can help worsen the symptoms of restless legs syndrome.
• Kidney Failure – Patients with kidney failure can also get iron deficiency and most often also have anemia.
• Spinal Cord Problems — Lesions involving the spinal cord are linked to restless legs syndrome.
• Medications – there are some types of medications such as antipsychotic drugs, some antidepressants, cold and allergy meds that feature antihistamines can make the symptoms worse.
• Pregnancy – There are some women that experience symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) during the last trimester but the condition abates within a month after she has delivered her child.

Diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

There is currently no specific medical test for a doctor to order that can diagnose if the patient has RLS but the doctor can use blood tests and other exams to rule out other conditions. The diagnosis of RLS is dependent mostly on the history of the patient including the family history, medications, presence of other symptoms, conditions and medical problems or problems with daytime sleepiness.
