Stress/ immobility: Anything that stresses the body, such as physical illness, mental stress, or the strain of surgery, can worsen RLS and other movement disorders. You may also not be able to move around as easily due to the hip surgery. The worsening will hopefully be transient, but discuss with your doctor adjusting your medicines if the symptoms persist.
