What Is Restless Legs Syndrome?
RLS causes uncomfortable sensations in your legs, often described as tingling, itching, or crawling feelings.
These sensations usually worsen at night, making peaceful sleep all but impossible. The daytime symptoms can be just as bad, with poor concentration, brain fog, and dangerous drowsiness being common problems.
Common Causes and Risk Factors for Restless Legs
The exact cause of RLS is often unknown. However, many studies have noted its connection with varicose veins and, in turn, the underlying issues that cause them.
For example, one study showed that 85% of people with restless legs also had lateral subdermal venous plexus (LSVP) insufficiency. Another showed a clear connection between chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and restless legs.
Many experts believe that RLS symptoms may occur because varicose veins cause decreased lower leg and foot circulation. In addition, varicose veins can cause nerve compression, which may explain the disruptive tinging and numbness many people with RLS experience.
Many people with varicose veins develop RLS, and on the other side of the coin, many people diagnosed with RLS later find out they have venous insufficiency. That’s why seeing an experienced vascular disease specialist is so important when you have RLS.
