Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Restless legs syndrome is a sensation in the legs, and sometimes arms, that makes one have to move to get comfortable. It occurs in the evening, at rest, and gets better with movement or tensing of the muscles. It may cause difficulty falling asleep. Although it affects both men and women, it is more common in pregnancy. It is easily treated with medication, but this is usually not advised in pregnancy. Other strategies to control the symptoms include avoiding all caffeine and alcohol, and taking warm baths.
