What Causes Restlessness In Legs While Sitting?

I was wondering why It's so hard for me to get comfortable?/ why am I so restless?

I often feel the urge to either sway one or both of my legs or bounce one up and down while sitting.

I have briefly looked at Restless Leg Syndrome and I'm doubtful that I have ADHD because at a young age our family doctor said I didn't have that.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Shaking of legs simply does not point towards restless leg syndrome. I advice you not to notice the restless legs yourself. Ask somebody to monitor you without you knowing it. Let him monitor you when you are at work, at school, at games etc. Then ask him how serious it is.

If he says it needs to be corrected, then you start researching about it. Definitely not now. Worrying about a possibly non existing problem can be the basic cause of the problem itself. Be wise.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
