Symptom #6: Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome is a condition that affects the nervous system that leads to uncomfortable sensations where the patient has an overwhelming urge to move their legs (and sometimes arms). These uncomfortable sensations can be described as creeping or crawling sensations that can range from mild to unbearable.
It is worst in the evening and at rest resulting in disturbances with sleep or sleep deprivation. In hyperglycemia that is common among diabetics, it can cause nerve damage leading to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Nerve damage to the lower limbs can contribute to restless leg syndrome.
