==Causes==
See the potential causal relationship between acidosis and RLS [[Restless legs syndrome pathophysiology#Restless Legs Syndrome and Acidosis|pathophysiology]]. Dehydration may also be a cause of an urge to move one's legs, as some sufferers often find that drinking a glass of water may stop the urges for a short while. Certain medications may worsen RLS in those who already have it, or cause it secondarily.  These include: [[anti-nausea drugs]], certain [[antihistamines]] (often in [[Over-the-counter drug|over-the-counter]] cold medications), [[antidepressants|drugs used to treat depression]] (both older [[tricyclics]] and newer [[SSRI]]s), [[antipsychotic]] drugs, and certain medications used to control [[seizures]].
[[Hypoglycemia]] has also been found to worsen RLS symptoms.<ref name="pmid9613772">{{cite journal |author=Kurlan R |title=Postprandial (reactive) hypoglycemia and restless leg syndrome: related neurologic disorders? |journal=Mov. Disord. |volume=13 |issue=3 |pages=619-20 |year=1998 |pmid=9613772 |doi=10.1002/mds.870130349}}</ref> Opioid detoxification has also recently been associated with provocation of RLS-like symptoms during withdrawal. For those affected, a reduction or elimination in the consumption of simple and refined [[carbohydrates]] or [[starches]] (for example, sugar, white flour, white rice and white potatoes) or some hard [[fats]], such as those found in beef or biscuits, is recommended. 
Both primary and secondary RLS can be worsened by surgery of any kind, however back surgery or injury can be associated with causing RLS.<ref name="pmid15830971">{{cite journal |author=Crotti FM, Carai A, Carai M, Sgaramella E, Sias W |title=Entrapment of crural branches of the common peroneal nerve |journal=Acta Neurochir.
