Restless legs?: Some patients describe an uncomfortable aching sensation in their legs, accompanied by the need to move them around or get up and walk around in order to relieve the sensation. We call it restless leg syndrome and it can be due to a number of reasons. Iron deficiency is a common cause. Ssri medications sometimes cause it or make it worse. There is good treatment available. See your doctor.
