Do I have RLS?. For the last four months I have had an un pleasant squeesing tingling sensation in the lower legs that has gradually spread to the face and arms. It is o.k. in the mornings but gradually comes on at about midday and gets worse at night . I have been diagnosed with very low ferratin and am booked for an iron infusion tomorrrow. What else could it be ?

You mention you are booked in for an iron infusion - RLS is frequently associated with iron deficiency.
Sounds like low ferritin has caused RLS so you should experience relief once the levels rise.
Check you’re not on anything that makes RLS worse like most anti depressants and anti histamines.
Good luck

As Joolg mentions, a number of medications can make RLS worse. These are listed further down in this link: rls-uk.org/treatment/
