Restless legs syndrome
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, head, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
RLS sensations range from pain or an aching in the muscles, to "an itch you can't scratch," a "buzzing sensation," an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop," a "crawling" feeling, or limbs jerking while awake. The sensations typically begin or intensify during quiet wakefulness, such as when relaxing, reading, studying, or trying to sleep. Additionally, most individuals with RLS have periodic limb movement disorder (limbs jerking during sleep), which is an objective physiologic marker of the disorder and is associated with sleep disruption. It can be caused by low iron levels.
Treatment is often with levodopa or a dopamine agonist such as pramipexole. Some controversy surrounds the marketing of drug treatments for RLS. It is a "spectrum" disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others having major disruption of sleep and impairments in quality of life.

What is restless legs syndrome and why does it matter? - BBC REEL
'Restless legs syndrome' (RLS) is a condition of the nervous system that, in its most serious form, can be highly debilitating. It is thought to affect roughly 10 percent of people worldwide, so how come it is still relatively unknown and poorly understood? BBC Reel's Howard Timberlake goes in search of some facts and discovers that the condition, and some of the medication used to treat it, throws up more questions than it does answers. #bbcreel #bbc #bbcnews

TRANSCRIPT: Restless legs syndrome or RLS is a condition that causes an urge to move the legs that often occurs along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs or sometimes in other body parts. The unpleasant sensations and urges to move the legs typically begin or become worse when someone is at rest, and they often only occur in the evening or at night. Movement tends to relieve the unpleasant sensations and urges to move, at least for as long as the movement lasts. Patients with RLS also often have insomnia and experience involuntary periodic leg movements...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes uncomfortable or painful sensations in the legs and an overwhelming urge to move them. It often happens in the evening or when you are trying to go to sleep. Stretches & exercises may help. More Dr. Jo leg stretches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWVEVBOGNE8 To help relieve restless legs syndrome symptoms, start off by massaging, foam rolling, or using a rolling stick to relax the large muscles in your legs like your quads, hamstrings, and calf muscles. Once you have massaged them out, you can stretch all of these muscles as well with a stretch strap, dog leash, or belt. Some exercises like ankle pumps and bridges help work the muscles to fatigued them out. This should help calm them down as well. Finally, the child’s pose is a great stretch for th...

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition that causes an urge to move the legs that often occurs along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs. In this video, I discuss RLS and the neurological mechanisms that might underlie it.
TRANSCRIPT:
Restless legs syndrome or RLS is a condition that causes an urge to move the legs that often occurs along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs or sometimes in other body parts. The unpleasant sensations and urges to move the legs typically begin or become worse when someone is at rest, and they often only occur in the evening or at night. Movement tends to relieve the unpleasant sensations and urges to move, at least for as long as the movement lasts. Patients with RLS also often have insomnia and experience involuntary periodic leg movements during sleep or resting wakefulness.
The mechanisms underlying RLS are not well understood. Genetic factors play a large role in susceptibility, but it’s thought that in most patients environmental factors must interact with genetics to bring about the condition. The most commonly-identified environmental factor in RLS is iron deficiency, and iron deficiency in the brain is the best-known neurological feature of RLS. It’s thought that this brain iron deficiency might be the result of an impaired ability of the brain to take iron up out of the blood and import it into neurons, and it may have multiple effects on brain function. For example, brain iron deficiency may disrupt oxygen transport and impair myelination, and it might be related to abnormal signaling in multiple neurotransmitter systems.
Abnormalities in dopamine signaling are thought to play an important role in RLS, and drugs that increase dopamine activity can offer therapeutic benefits to RLS patients. Research, however, suggests RLS patients do not have low dopamine levels, and thus the reason for the benefit offered by dopamine-increasing drugs is not completely understood. Despite the short-term benefits, long-term use of dopamine-increasing drugs tends to cause what is known as augmentation, where RLS symptoms worsen with continued use of medication. Thus, alternative drugs are often used when possible.

'Restless legs syndrome' (RLS) is a condition of the nervous system that, in its most serious form, can be highly debilitating. It is thought to affect roughly 10 percent of people worldwide, so how come it is still relatively unknown and poorly understood?
BBC Reel's Howard Timberlake goes in search of some facts and discovers that the condition, and some of the medication used to treat it, throws up more questions than it does answers.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition that causes an urge to move the legs that often occurs along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs. In this video, I discuss RLS and the neurological mechanisms that might underlie it.
TRANSCRIPT:
Restless legs syndrome or RLS is a condition that causes an urge to move the legs that often occurs along with uncomfortable sensations in the legs or sometimes in other body parts. The unpleasant sensations and urges to move the legs typically begin or become worse when someone is at rest, and they often only occur in the evening or at night. Movement tends to relieve the unpleasant sensations and urges to move, at least for as long as the movement lasts. Patients with RLS also often have insomnia and experience involuntary periodic leg movements during sleep or resting wakefulness.
The mechanisms underlying RLS are not well understood. Genetic factors play a large role in susceptibility, but it’s thought that in most patients environmental factors must interact with genetics to bring about the condition. The most commonly-identified environmental factor in RLS is iron deficiency, and iron deficiency in the brain is the best-known neurological feature of RLS. It’s thought that this brain iron deficiency might be the result of an impaired ability of the brain to take iron up out of the blood and import it into neurons, and it may have multiple effects on brain function. For example, brain iron deficiency may disrupt oxygen transport and impair myelination, and it might be related to abnormal signaling in multiple neurotransmitter systems.
Abnormalities in dopamine signaling are thought to play an important role in RLS, and drugs that increase dopamine activity can offer therapeutic benefits to RLS patients. Research, however, suggests RLS patients do not have low dopamine levels, and thus the reason for the benefit offered by dopamine-increasing drugs is not completely understood. Despite the short-term benefits, long-term use of dopamine-increasing drugs tends to cause what is known as augmentation, where RLS symptoms worsen with continued use of medication. Thus, alternative drugs are often used when possible.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes uncomfortable or painful sensations in the legs and an overwhelming urge to move them. It often happens in the evening or when you are trying to go to sleep. Stretches & exercises may help. More Dr. Jo leg stretches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWVEVBOGNE8
To help relieve restless legs syndrome symptoms, start off by massaging, foam rolling, or using a rolling stick to relax the large muscles in your legs like your quads, hamstrings, and calf muscles.
Once you have massaged them out, you can stretch all of these muscles as well with a stretch strap, dog leash, or belt.
Some exercises like ankle pumps and bridges help work the muscles to fatigued them out. This should help calm them down as well.
Finally, the child’s pose is a great stretch for the whole body, and can really help you calm everything back down before you go to sleep.

Restless legs syndrome
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, head, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
RLS sensations range from pain or an aching in the muscles, to "an itch you can't scratch," a "buzzing sensation," an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop," a "crawling" feeling, or limbs jerking while awake. The sensations typically begin or intensify during quiet wakefulness, such as when relaxing, reading, studying, or trying to sleep. Additionally, most individuals with RLS have periodic limb movement disorder (limbs jerking during sleep), which is an objective physiologic marker of the disorder and is associated with sleep disruption. It can be caused by low iron levels.
Treatment is often with levodopa or a dopamine agonist such as pramipexole. Some controversy surrounds the marketing of drug treatments for RLS. It is a "spectrum" disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others having major disruption of sleep and impairments in quality of life.

Restless Legs
by: Half Man Half BiscuitHere she lies in the fleecy gown
By my side in the eiderdown
But she can't get a ticket to morning town
Cause I've got restless legs
Boring though this film may be
Slumber still won't visit thee
So long as you stay next to me
For I have restless legs
Milky drink and sudafed
That should sort you out she said
As I kicked myself clean out of the bed
Praise my restless legs
Homeopathic cures I sort
All in all its come to nought
I wish it was some astronaut
Who had these restless legs
4:06 and I’m wide awake
And an uncontrollable urge to take
A 5 mile hike around the Ogwen Lake
Just to stretch these restless legs
No sympathy from Uncle Greg
Nor indeed from Aunty Meg
But thank god I’m not Jake the peg
With an extra restless leg
So come the day when I don’t exist
And worms are flying through the graveyard mist
Don’t go botherin' the exorcist
Its just my restless legs
