In restless legs syndrome, (sometimes written as RLS), people get a feeling like their legs are crawling with ants, tingling, burning, itching or cramping. These feelings get worse when the legs have been motionless for a while, especially at night and improve on movement. This leads to sleep disturbance, and results in further problems such as fatigue, mental health problems and high blood pressure. Therefore, it is important to find all possible causes of restless legs.
