Perhaps: Are you a heavy smoker? Are you overweight? Do you have diebetes mellitus? Do you have numbness of the feet in addition to the pain? Does your job involve repetitive movements of ankle flexors? If all these questions are negative it can be rls. See a neurologist to discard neuyropathy. Good luck.
