What is restless legs
syndrome?
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition characterized by uncomfortable feelings in your legs that can only be alleviated by moving or massaging them. Multiple factors can contribute to RLS, including vein disease.
Vein problems can irritate and inflame the muscles and soft tissues in your legs, potentially leading to sensations associated with RLS. Some research indicates that many patients with vein disease also experience restless legs syndrome.
What are the symptoms of restless legs
syndrome?
Symptoms can vary but often include creeping, crawling, or tingling sensations, along with aching or throbbing pain. Some may experience a tingling or electrical shock-like feeling.
RLS symptoms typically worsen in the evening or at night when you’re relaxing or trying to sleep. This condition can significantly impact your sleep quality, leading to daytime fatigue, irritability, and other health issues.
When should I talk to a doctor about restless legs
syndrome?
Even if you don’t notice other signs of vein disease, the team at Advanced Vascular can help. If RLS symptoms are disrupting your sleep and affecting your daily life, schedule an appointment today. Delaying diagnosis and treatment may prolong your discomfort.
