A member asked:

Can bilateral foraminal stenosis at the l5 nerve root from grade 2 spondylolisthesis cause symptoms and sensations similar to restless leg syndrome?

Stenosis of L-5 of the spinal canal can cause weakness, leg pain, paresthesias and this can occur in both lower extremities. Usual treatment includes surgical correction of the stenosis.

Lumbosacral spondylolisthesis is not a cause of RLS, but ongoing pain and irritability could make it difficult to get comfortable in one constant position. You, however, might have both conditions independently. If a diagnosis is sought, find a local neurologist to consult.
