What Is Restless Leg Syndrome?
5. Relief When Moving
The symptoms of restless leg syndrome tend to start after the patient has been still for a long time. This can mean when lying in bed, when sitting down at a desk, or when sitting in the same position during a long journey. Patients should try and move occasionally where possible to help prevent your symptoms worsening too much.
Patients also tend to find that the symptoms tend to improve when they become more active. Walking can help to relieve the symptoms, as can shaking your legs, and stretching. If you do have these symptoms, and the others mentioned, you should arrange to speak with a doctor as soon as possible.
