It's also known as restless leg syndrome and the RLS organization has a great website with great resources

Also, a drug has just been put on the market specifically for RLS, called Requip. Here's some info on it...

I know they ruled out physical, but it could be a medication side effect - many seniors are taking muscle relaxants for pain, and these muscle relaxants can cause that. Have they ruled out an anxiety disorder?

I had it for a while because of the medication I was on. I used to have to walk around to help it. Now it's gone because I switched medications.

Is it Restless Leg Syndrome? Does he feel like he has to move his legs because they hurt? or do they just shake? If it RLS, Requip is a medicine that is supposed to help.

I know this sounds crazy but does he drink alcohol? My ex had the same time whenever he drank or was hungover and his doctor told him it was from alcohol. Crazy I know!

He's probably afraid of the dark. Ask him to get a night light.
