Introduction to Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome varies widely in the intensity and frequency of symptoms, with some patients experiencing symptoms as infrequently as once a month and even then only in stressful conditions (e.g., sitting for prolonged period of time in a theater), others may suffer nightly causing them to spend many hours pacing and in constant movement. Patients with milder symptoms tend to experience them intermittently for years. Other patients may experience intermittent symptoms initially but then progress quickly to daily presentation.
