Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to have more detailed information about it. For example, the time when it happens. If these symptoms happen during the sleep then this is strong evidence that it might be the restless leg syndrome. This syndrome urges the person to keep moving the leg and may wake him up from the sleep or have difficulty to sleep. It may happen also during the daytime and the person constantly moves the legs and pace the floor.
In fact, women are more affected than men.
This is a diagnosis made by the doctor not with any blood test or examination, but only through the history and interview. So, I would first exclude 2 other conditions such as diabetes and lower back discal hernia and then would conclude that this is restless leg syndrome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
