Brief Answer:
Neurological evaluation needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Restless legs syndrome is evaluated better by Neurologists, so if you think you suffer from Restless legs syndrome, a neurological evaluation needed first.

More information needed about your symptoms and any other related health condition, in order to evaluate correctly this diagnosis.

Sometimes Restless legs syndrome is associated with other health problems such iron deficiency, peripheral neuropathy and kidney disease, so, in my opinion, these possibilities of your concerns should be discussed with the Neurologist too.

Hope this answers your question. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
