What Is Restless Leg Syndrome?
3. Crawling Sensations
As mentioned, the patient’s urge to move their legs usually comes from an unpleasant sensation in their legs. These sensations are often described as though something is crawling on their legs. Other sensations include a sensation of electric shocks, aching, throbbing, pulling, and itching.
The severity of the symptoms can fluctuate, and there may also be periods when the patient feels no symptoms at all. The sensations will usually happen in both legs, and they will also sometimes be felt in the arms. The sensations are also more or less likely to be felt during certain times of the day.
