Restless legs syndrome?

First: lower limb paresthesia: there are indescribable discomfort of ants walking, insects crawling and wandering in the uncertain parts of the limbs, which are deep in the muscles. Some patients complain that they are in the "bone". This kind of paresthesia is mostly limited to the lower limbs (between the knee and ankle), mainly in the lower leg area, sometimes including the feet and knees. Generally, it is bilateral symmetry, and it is rare to have left and right alternation. The upper limb involvement is rare, even if it occurs, the degree is much lighter than that of the lower limb.

Second, restless leg movement: because the discomfort of both lower limbs only lasts a few seconds or a minute, it occurs repeatedly. It does not occur when the work is busy, and it is very serious at rest, after work and at night. Therefore, they like to walk to relieve the discomfort, or constantly rub and beat local muscles. In addition, it is difficult to find a way to relieve the discomfort, and they also move their lower limbs back and forth when lying in bed, In severe cases, it is difficult to fall asleep. Involuntary leg flexion often occurs when awake, lying or sitting.

Third: often accompanied by nocturnal myoclonus: also known as periodic action in sleep, repetitive lower limb muscle contraction in sleep, at least 40 times of leg movement can occur in 6 hours of sleep.
