A member asked:

What causes restlessness in the left arm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Periodic Limb : Movement disorder. If you have symptoms of this please set up a visit with a sleep physician to rule out sleep apnea as a cause for it and to document its presence prior to treatment if it is not due to apnea.
