Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. The sensation is often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. The sensation may range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful.
