Question:

What is actual the medical explanation for Restless leg syndrome?


Answers:

Explanation

RLS (which is also sometimes referred to as Jimmy Legs, Jumpy Legs, Jiggly Legs, Jimmy Jams, Heebeejeebees, spare legs, "the kicks", kicky-outy legs, or sewing machine foot) may be described as uncontrollable urges to move the limbs in order to stop uncomfortable, painful or odd sensations in the body, most commonly in the legs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.

The sensations and need to move may return immediately after ceasing movement, or at a later time. RLS may start at any age, including early childhood, and is a progressive disease for a certain portion of those afflicted, although the symptoms have disappeared permanently in some sufferers.
