Rls without legs being restless
My symptoms are burning and fizzing feeling in legs especially at night. I also get same symptoms in arms but not so severe. However, I do not have involuntary movements of my legs. My GP diagnosed RLS so I'm confused! Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi
. I can see why you are questioning your diagnosis. Are you diabetic by any chance? We are not medical experts, but your symptoms sound a bit like neuropathy, which is common for diabetics (though not limited to people with diabetes) and does not include involuntary movements. Here is an article about neuropathy that might interest you: https://type2diabetes.com/complications/neuropathy. If you want to be certain you have RLS before starting treatment, your best bet would be a referral to a neurologist. Primary care doctors have a great base of knowledge about most every condition, but they don't have the indepth knowledge of specific conditions that neurologists have. I hope this helps. Keep me posted if you don't mind. I will be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
