I am 63 years old and I am suffering from restless legs from past 1 year. It really makes it difficult for me to sleep at night. I really suffer slot. It's not any kind of pain but some sort of restlessness. My doctor said maybe I am having uric acid problem but all the reports came clear. Could you tell which disease am I going through?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. In most cases, the cause of rls is unknown (called primary rls). However, rls has a genetic component and can be found in families where the onset of symptoms is before age 40. Specific gene variants have been associated with rls. Evidence indicates that low levels of iron in the brain also may be responsible for rls. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
