Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless legs syndrome is an illness that causes unpleasant feelings in the legs or the urge to move the legs. Typically, it affects the lower legs and feet. While these areas may hurt, it usually just feels like one wants to move their legs to feel better. Due to the possibility of disrupting sleep, it is very troublesome at night.
A study found that those with fibromyalgia have a significantly higher chance of having restless legs syndrome. Researchers discovered that 33 percent of fibromyalgia patients experienced restless legs syndrome, as opposed to 3.1 percent of non-fibromyalgia patients. The findings are crucial as fibromyalgia symptoms may be made worse by sleep disruption brought on by restless legs syndrome.
In addition, researchers pointed out that fibromyalgia patients with restless legs syndrome may benefit from treatment and an improvement in their quality of life.
