Can a person have restless leg syndrome but not have an urge to move their legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Usually part of RLS is having the uncontrollable urge to move your legs while at rest at night, and moving the legs prevents having uncomfortable feelings in the limbs. Hence the term "restless" is used.
