I m 69 and had polio when I was 4 years old. I ve struggled with leg aches most of my life, but now it is getting worse. I ve been given ropinorole, but it s just getting worse. I often have to soak my legs in water as hot as I can stand, but sometimes, I end up doing that more than once in a night. I was told when I was in Jr. High that it was due to the polio I had as a child. I do have an appointment with a neurologist in October, but I was trying to find out more about what might be causing this. The symptoms are restless legs, need to stretch my calf muscles, twist my ankles, or stand up to stop the twitchy feeling. Just wondering if there could be some other reason I m suffering with these symptoms.

Summarized question: What causes restless legs syndrome?
