Most people experience leg soreness after participating in a sport or activity. However, people with RLS find similar symptoms start or become worse while sitting, relaxing, or trying to rest. The aching sensation typically begins after the individual has been lying down or sitting for an extended time. Extended time sitting, such as in a car, airplane, or movie theatre, can make it worse.
