Restless Leg Syndrome is an irresistible urge to move one's legs. The urge usually
occurs while the body is inactive and is more intense at night. Prickly sensations and involuntary
leg jerking are also common symptoms. Needless to say, getting enough sleep can be difficult for
those with Restless Leg Syndrome. New research suggests that the disorder is caused by certain brain
cells not getting enough iron. While there is no cure, several medications may help ease symptoms.
Also massage and cold compresses can help. Iron supplements may also help in the short term but should
be prescribed by a doctor.
