Hi everyone. Ive been struggling with RLS for about 23 years. The only thing is that when I move my legs the pain gets worse and the only way to relieve the pain is too elevate and rest my legs. Does anyone have the same problem?

Hi , no this is not the case with restless legs infact it is the opposite! With RLS the unpleasant sensations give you the urge to move to ease the sensations .When at rest and relaxing RLS gets worse not better.Take a look at RLS-Uk website under FAQs and take a look at the criteria. It seems you have something else going on here..pipps

HI thanks for the reply. I have all the symptoms (but one) of RLS as well as period limb movement disorder and have been diagnosed by many different doctors. The only difference is the pain gets worse the more I move. I have met only one person with the same symptons but trying to find out if there are more.
