No known causes: But pain in the joints deserves an exam to rule out non-restless leg causes. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/restless-legs-syndrome/ds00191.

RLS: It is a syndrome w/ symptoms of an urge to move the legs especially near bedtime, that improves w/ movement ; is worse @ rest. It typically has uneasy sensations. Besides its relation to low peripheral Dopamine levels ; some to genes, it is unclear why it occurs. Sometimes it may be secondary to other medical issues. It's recommended that you see a sleep medicine specialist to diagnose it.
