and there is a related one, Restless leg Syndrome, I think I have this too


People with RLS find it difficult to keep their legs still and must move them to alleviate the discomfort. The feeling is usually difficult for them to articulate because it is less of a throbbing or stabbing pain and more of a nonspecific discomfort. Many who experience RLS also experience generalized anxiety that results from the incessant need to change the positioning of their legs. Moving the legs, temporarily relieves the discomfort.
