About 6 months ago, my legs will just jerk involuntarily. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RLS: Restless Leg Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, or head. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief. Medications are available if severe issues. See a Dr. for a definitive Diagnosis though.
