Can a person with no legs have restless leg syndrome?

Yes, a person with no legs can still experience restless leg syndrome (RLS). RLS is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. It is not related to the presence or absence of legs.

RLS is thought to be caused by an imbalance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and iron. These neurotransmitters are involved in regulating movement and sensation in the legs. When these neurotransmitters are out of balance, it can lead to the symptoms of RLS.

People who have no legs may still experience RLS because the disorder is not caused by the legs themselves. Instead, it is caused by a neurological imbalance in the brain. As a result, people who have no legs can still experience the uncomfortable sensations and the irresistible urge to move their legs that are characteristic of RLS.
