One of the most frequent health problems that I diagnose at Bothwell Sleep Center is Restless Legs Syndrome. RLS affects more than 10% of adults and 2-4% of children, yet few people come in complaining about their legs. When I ask patients sitting down next to me why they are moving their legs back and forth rapidly, they attribute it to nerves or to attention deficit disorder.
As summer is here and people are getting more active some aches and pains in our legs might be normal, but if those leg pains persist you may have something going on.
