Restless Legs or Something Else?

am starting to wonder if restless legs syndrome may be my problem.

In February I had pain in my calf muscle and I had just started taking birth control the month before. I had an doppler ultrasound performed on my leg to make sure there was no clot. Thankfully it was clear. Since then the has continued on and off. I've had and MRI and EMG done and both came back clear.

My leg hurts in the calf and in the front. I have insomia and according to my mom my dad has the RSL. My leg just feels constantly tired and weak and I am so tired on not feeling well.

I have also had a stress echo and and EKG done this year and those have come back with negative results.

I am 5'5, 180 lbs, so I am a little overweight, I don't smoke and do not take birth control any longer - only took it for a month. My leg is not red or swolleen and my arch of my foor has not collasped.

It doesn't sound like it to me. RLS doesn't hurt...it crawls and aches. There isn't any pain. I usually have problems in the calves only. It feels like you want to get up and walk to make the ache go away, but it doesn't help.

RLS is when you HAVE to move your legs...meaning you cannot keep them still. Do you have that? You didn't mention it.
Here are facts on RLS from the NIH:

After looking at your height/weight on the chart, it would really help the way you feel if you lost about 40 lbs. Poor diet, no exercise and being overweight can give you all the symptoms you mention and it's amazing how much better you will feel when your diet improves, you exercise and you drop down to 140 lbs. I bet it will be completely gone.

I had a similar problem with pain in my legs, usually at night. The problem was my diet. I was not eating like I was supposed to or taking vitamins and my legs would cramp up at night. I would suggest taking a good multivitamin, drinking lots of water, and try to balance your diet. This might help your legs, and it couldn't hurt for the rest of your body.

Hope this helps! :-)

I CAN TELL U ITS NOT RLS, I KNOW, I HAVE IT, RLS IS LIKE A BUNCH OF WORMS CRAWLIN UDER YOUR SKIN AFTER YOU LIE DOWN, AND ONLY GOS AWAY IF YOU CONTINUE TO MOVE THEM, THERES NO PAIN INVOLED,

Your symptoms sound like something different than restless leg syndrome. RLS is when your legs feel like they are on an electric current or something. It's not necessarily painful, just annoying. When your body is tired, and you're trying to sleep, your legs are wide awake.
Unless you've experienced RLS, it is kind of hard to describe accurately. My best description is: Your legs almost feel like they're wiggling with excitement, while the rest of your body is relaxed. By the way, if you experience RLS, stretching your leg muscles about an hour or two before you go to bed helps me most of the time.
Hope that helps answer your question.
