Causes of Restless Leg Syndrome

Luis: Hey, hi! My name is Luis. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I want to know, what causes the restless leg syndrome? I want to know the signs and symptoms of it.

Andrew Sama: Well Luis, restless leg syndrome is a neurological disorder. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of information about it. But it is something that occurs with uncontrolled movements of the legs, it typically occurs in the evening or at night when you lay down to go and rest. It's associated with the uncomfortable feelings in the legs that have been described as creepy or tingling sensations that are uncontrollable and the irresistible urge to move.

It sometimes happens uncontrollable while you're asleep and the best thing to do is to speak with your physician about it, if you think you may have these symptoms. And they could take you down the path of diagnosing you and recommending treatments.
