I have rls in my legs and sometimes arms which is only there before my period and duing and goes after my cycle has ended .I also bleed twice a month and I have very irregular and heavy periods also , I also get extreme pressure on my right top leg and a burning sensation also I get fatique also and body pain,, I look up rls and the symptoms are the same and rls appears at the monthly cycle and at night and the leg pressure is one of the signs, but my doctors is not helping,, I also have huge belly but I'm not fat and last night a clot of blood fell out of me and it was a size of a liver... do I have rls ? What do you think

You might have rls, but you could also have some other issues going on which rls is just one symptom of. Has your doctor done any sort of testing of your hormone levels? That might be something to ask about if it hasn't been done already.

All I have had is blood test, I saw another doctor and she suspects I have arthritus as my fingers in my hands looked swollen to her, to be honest my doctors is not helping at all I don't know what to do I just want someone to help me,, I don't feel good I know somethink wrong

Do you know what she was checking on with the blood test? So many things can be looked at... was anything discussed?

I told the doctor not to rely on the blood test as arthritus does not always show in early stages that's why my mum is bad now -i stood my ground and insisted on test being done for me and doctor agrees I may have rls-(restless legs syndrome ) as I wrote down about it from the internet and my doctor read it and was interested
