Need help understanding

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, I'm Albert 32 from CA. Since Saturday I've been having this itchy like numbing pain that comes down my whole back right leg from upper tight down my knee and the way to my foot. I sometimes get these bursts of weird sensation that make my toes twitch. It actually happens all day and I haven't gotten relieve. Does this sound like RLS? Thanks you in advance.

    Are you sure you shouldn't be considering it might be sciatica?

      Yes, the only thing that had me confused is that sensation I get that makes me twitch my toes and foot.

    The unsurmountable urge to move limb(s)-sensation worsens until limb moved! but symptoms return as soon as etc. Can occur whilst seated/lying down..in a relaxed state!

    Could be caused by poor circulation. a trapped nerve...sciatica but...

    When severe..especially when you retire to sleep..suspect RLS.

    RLS does occur when you sleep.*Can disrupt sleep pattern etc.

    Can cause arms,legs to jerk uncontrolably!

    see Doctor to confirm it is RLS.& not a different ailment!
