I have bilateral RLS, but my left leg is the primary problem leg. When this leg is in full attack, the veins from the knee down are very prominent (especially around the ankle) and that portion is slightly discolored (reddish in color - like blood starvation). Have never thought at the time of the blood pressure difference. Will do that.
