My husband has a Restless Leg Syndrome where he is usually uncomfortable at night and is not able to fall or stay asleep. Moving or shaking the legs gives him a little relief for a smaller duration. is there some medication or instant treatment available to this? Pls suggest.

There are medications available for RLS. Usually started with a class of medications known as Dopamine agonists. We typically prescribe pramipexole at small doses to be taken in the evening. Based on the response of RLS, the dose can be titrated.
Next Steps
avoiding coffee in the evening, having a good sleeping etiquette will help. Iron supplements offer modest help if iron deficiency is co existent.
