You should consult your doctor for an assessment of your iron levels and nerve function to determine if your restless leg syndrome has progressed or if you have developed neuropathy (nerve damage). Your doctor may prescribe medications to manage pain, such as dopamine agonists or gabapentinoids, and suggest lifestyle changes to relieve the burning sensations and leg discomfort.
