Medical Negligence Client
There is currently a great deal of controversy regarding the treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). In our work, we have seen two areas of concern. One relates to the way in which medication is used to treat the condition. The other area of concern is that, even where medication is prescribed appropriately, patients are not made aware of its unusual and damaging side effects.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological condition that causes an overwhelming urge to move the legs, often accompanied by involuntary jerking of the limbs. For many people, the symptoms can be unbearable, severely disrupting daily life and making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
In May 2021, our client visited her local hospital complaining of persistent right flank pain and a dull ache in her back. She was prescribed antibiotics for a suspected kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and referred for an ultrasound scan.
