Answer:

I personally suffer from this......and it is very difficult to explain.

I cannot describe the sensation that you get in your legs, most people have vaguely tried, but they really don't get close to what it actually is. All I can tell you is, you have a "strange" sensation in your legs, and it causes you to want to move your legs rapidly, and this relieves that annoying sensation that you're getting.

I wish I could describe it better, and most people who have RLS cannot really describe it either. It's not pain, it's not a muscle spasm, it's not a cramp, it's not an itch or something like that. It's this uncontrollable impulse to move your legs to relieve this "sensation". Once you move your legs rapidly for several minutes, that sensation usually tends to go away. This impulse usually occurs more at night than during the day, although it's not impossible for this to happen in the daytime.

Supposedly there are treatments for it. I don't have alot of money to spend on medications, so I just endure it. It's not life threatening or anything, but it sure is annoying.

It's hard to be any clearer on this, but I tried to be clear. Hope this helps you.

Have you ever laid in bed to go to sleep and your legs have an ache that you can't seem to get rid of, not by stretching them or anything? I think that's what it is, I have had that feeling quite a bit, probably had to do with taking the ephedrine as a energy boost so much.

it is a feeling of restlessness in ones legs , most often felt when they are settling down, sitting after being active all day or going to bed. The feelings can range from a mild tingling and disconfort in the legs to all out twitching, feeling like you have to move , kick something, shake your legs out before you are completely comfortable.
