What is RLS?

RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome is a neurological condition that causes an irresistible urge to move or shake one’s leg or can cause a tingling in legs. This condition most commonly occurs when the patient is in a resting position or is trying to sleep and can majorly damage their regular lifestyle and cause sleeplessness.

The most common syndrome that patients complain about if they suffer from RLS is the tingling in legs sensation that seems only to die down if they move about or rub their legs vigorously.

While, for some people, this symptom causes only irritation and doesn’t happen too often, in severe cases this sensation can be quite painful and is a long term problem.

In such cases, the patient is said to suffer from Primary RLS, which is considered to be a genetically transferred cause.

It has been studied that people suffering from Primary RLS who seem to have no physical reason to have this tingling in legs do in fact have family members in the older generation who have suffered from RLS.

Secondary RLS is the second type that is known to occur in patients and cause this uncontrollable tingling in legs sensation as a result of some other neurological disease, nutritional deficiency or due to side effects of a drug.

Diabetes, Parkinson’s disease or damage to certain nerves or parts of the brain is the ailments that can cause RLS. Low levels of Iron or Magnesium are considered to be the nutritional deficiencies in the body which can also lead to similar symptoms.
