Just because you need to stretch your legs doesn’t mean you have Restless Leg Syndrome. Restless Leg Syndrome or RLS is a condition where a person has trouble sitting or lying down because their legs just won’t let them. Long car rides and air travel can be difficult also. Even sitting and watching TV for a few hours is a trial. People that have RLS may feel very tired during the day and even too tired to do their regular routine because RLS interferes with normal sleep.
Restless Leg Syndrome is a real medical condition, just like high blood pressure or diabetes. Many people don’t even realize that there is a name for this condition. If you think you might have Restless Leg Syndrome, you are not alone. I have been diagnosed with RLS and as many as one in ten American adults suffer from this condition. It seems to run in families, and it can affect women and men of any age. However, since the symptoms don’t seem to become troublesome until people get older, most people aren’t diagnosed with it until middle age.
The best thing you can do is contact your physician if you feel you might have Restless Leg Syndrome. There are some medications that can help with this condition so the best thing is to ask your doctor for information.
