What causes restless leg?

First time poster, and kinda new to reddit overall, so apologies if i did anything incorrectly. Also dyslexic, so sorry about any typos or grammar fails.

My (in her early 50s) mum has been suffering from restless leg since her 20s, she wakes up 40 times per hour I believe she said, but I could be wrong. She also has a constant headache and back pain, and frequent migraines. She’s seen countless doctors, has countless MRIs and blood tests, and been on countless medications, to no avail.

Thought she has scoliosis, there are no nerves being compressed.

And her iron levels are slightly high, though they used to be low, so it doesn’t seem to be that.

What are other causes of restless leg syndrome we can look into? At the moment she’s surviving with a chiropractor, or someone who massages her and recommends products, like some magnesium supplement she’s using at the moment.

(Just read the rule about no medical advice should be given to under 21 year olds, I am 18, but just want potential causes I can look into with a medical professional, so to my understanding telling me that is okay.)
