Restless Arms

Not here for any advice or anything. I’m doing what I can…..but does it frustrate anyone that when googling this condition most of the time it’s described as an “irresistible urge to move arms/legs?” Or an “uncomfortable feeling” Or something like that. If someone wasn’t sure what it was or even my psychiatrist who wasn’t super familiar with it - it comes across as just needing to move your limbs like an impulse or involuntary movement - maybe even a slight discomfort or awareness to the limbs-rarely do I see the level of pain mentioned.

I feel like the urge to move is only HALF of it. The other half is a tortuous pain that only goes away IF you move your arms/legs. (I have RAS I’m not sure what it’s like in the legs but I assume the same sensation) and if you DONT move your arms (in my case) the excruciating ache gets so intense and build and builds until I start to tear up and have to move my arms for any kind of relief.

I definitely had to google certain phrases to elicit the mention of pain. Not just discomfort. Discomfort is broad and I don’t think covers the severity of the feeling.
