Restless Limb Sensations

Tips from survivors: “When the sensation starts, moving or stretching the limb helps calm it down.”

Uncomfortable or urge-to-move sensations in the limbs, often occurring during rest.

Tingling, crawling, pulling, or aching feelings in the arms or legs that create a strong urge to move them, especially when sitting or lying down.

Stroke can affect sensory pathways and nerve signaling, leading to abnormal sensations in the affected limbs.

Reported by some stroke survivors, particularly those with sensory changes.
