rls??

I'm wondering if I'm having rls symptoms .... my legs are very achey (achy) and stiff especially when I sit or lay down they also feel like pins and needles sometimes too... my mother also had rls at one point but now she's ok I herd it could b hereditary so I'm just wondering if this is normal from being pregnant or if it is some type of rls!? Any help would b great! ! Thanks! !

Hi there!

Your symptoms do not typically sound like RLS and you may consider an evaluation by a primary care physician to consider possibilities such as micronutrient deficiencies, neuromuscular issues etc.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
