What causes restless knee syndrome? My husband has been diagnosed with this syndrome and doctor recommended him to do deep knee bends or other leg exercises as close to bedtime as possible. How dangerous condition is restless knee syndrome?
Did you mean restless legs syndrome? I don’t think there is a “restless knee syndrome”. 1/20 Americans has restless legs syndrome, which may be inherited. Many doctors believe it may be triggered by stress, a nutritional deficiency or some sort of imbalance in brain chemistry. It is not dangerous and doesn't lead to serious neurological disorders. It is good for your husband to do exercise before bedtime.
