Ways to Tell if You Have Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

Restless Leg Syndrome is a condition of the legs that is uncomfortable and bothersome to the individual. People who suffer from this have an uncontrollable urge to move their legs. The legs tend to throb and have a “creeping” feeling in them.

Restless Leg Syndrome can be difficult to diagnose. But, there are some factors that can point your doctor toward attributing your symptoms to this neurological disorder.

• The symptoms happen mainly during the nighttime, while the majority of RLS patients rarely feel problems during the day.

• Your symptoms happen when your legs are at rest.

• Symptoms make you feel like you HAVE to move the affected leg.

• Once you move the leg, it does relieve the symptoms until you begin resting again.

Heredity can contribute to Restless Leg Syndrome and some vein disorders can lead to the disease. By treating the veins, you may relieve some of the RLS problems that keep you awake at night. Since there are many ways to get RLS, it is absolutely imperative that you consult with your doctor. Start journaling what you are experiencing. List the symptoms, frequency of the symptoms, intensity, and the time of day they occur. Going into the doctor’s office equipped with this information will help him/her to diagnose you properly.

Restless Leg Syndrome can affect your life in a very negative way by preventing you from getting the sleep that you need every night. This lack of sleep exacerbates any medical, and mental, issues.
