Nightime leg pain that i do not believe fits with rls. what is best testing to diagnose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See neurologist: There is no diagnostic test for rls. It's a "looks like a duck, talks like a duck, walks like a duck therefore it's a duck" diagnosis. Neuropathy can mimic or trigger rls. A neurologist can sort out the difference between the two for you.
