Restless Legs Syndrome is a condition in which the legs feel extremely uncomfortable, typically in the evenings. It typically occurs while sitting or lying down. It generally worsens with age and can disrupt sleep. The main symptom is a nearly irresistible urge to move the legs. Getting up and moving around helps the unpleasant feeling temporarily go away. Self-care steps, lifestyle changes or medications may help.

• Rare: Fewer than 1 million cases per year
