Restless legs can be either due to lack of vitamin B12 or due to lack of calcium in muscles. I would recommend you to get these tests.
1. Serum b12 estimation
2. serum calcium
after this start taking Methylcobal( Neurobion) and calcium and vitamin D3.
3. Tablet Amytryptalin 10 mg per day is also useful.
