What are restless leg syndrome causes

Question

Asked for Female, 55 Years

I am a 55 year old female and I was recently diagnosed with restless leg syndrome. This happened so suddenly that I quite didn’t understand the seriousness of the issue. None of my family members had this condition earlier and I never know such a condition even existed. What causes restless leg syndrome? How does one get affected by it?
