A member asked:
Does restless leg syndrome have any link to osteoarthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritis does NOT cause RLS, but could act as a trigger for episodes. Dopamine antagonists should be very useful here as well as in general. Might check serum ferritin levels, and look for possible kidney issues, if not done previously.
