Restless Leg Syndrome

Help me out- I'm not sure if this is what I'm experiencing or not!  Just within the last two weeks I've started experiencing a weird sensation in my upper right thigh/hip area.  I'm not at all experiencing a desire or need to move my leg- What I'm having is a tingling very similar to the "pins and needles" felt when you're foot falls asleep.  Some of the info I found online regarding RLS talks about a "tingling" sensation.  Does this sound like RLS to anyone else experiencing it?  Thanks!

    It might be, but it's not the type of symptom I experience.  I usually feel really twitchy.

    Sounds like sciatica.   My RLS was in my calves and I could NOT keep my legs still at all.

    Hmmmm....sounds a little too localized to be RLS, although everyone is different. 

    My RLS happens throughout both legs, and is more of a creepy-crawly feeling than a tingling.  And I DEFINITELY have to move them or I go competely insane.

    I've had RLS off and on for years but it's recently only been on while I've been pregnant. I've never experienced what you're talking about but like the pp said - it's different for everyone. With me it's much more of a creepy crawly sensation that I can't really put my finger on (almost like it's more in my mind then actually in my legs) and I just feel the urge to move my legs.

    Doesnt sound like RLS...more like a pinched nerve. Its probably sciatica.

    Hm- It's not sciatica.  That's a pain I can definitely put my finger on.  I guess I'm just a freak... lol!

    No, I feel this annoying and nagging feeling to move/stretch my legs that persists for different amounts of time each time...usually at night while I am in bed watching tv. What's more annoying is that sometimes when I am stretching my legs out to get rid of the feeling, I get an awful calf cramp. So, I try to just ignore it. My DH will sometimes massage my legs and that helps alleviate the RLS.

    Happens to me too - just remember to NEVER point your toes while stretching - that's when the cramps happen.  Flex!  :)
