Restless Leg Syndrome

MEDGEEKS
About this episode

Have you ever felt restless?...of course, we all have! But imagine having a creepy crawly sensation when you are trying to sleep.

No, this isn't about arachnophobia, it's restless leg syndrome. According to many studies, roughly 20% of people suffer from restless leg syndrome. 

Join us for this week's podcast with Dr. Niket Sonpal where we review the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of Restless Leg Syndrome.
