Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the rest less leg syndrome, or some neurological problem due to excitation of the nerves in the leg.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment .
you may need to have M.R.I, myogram, etc for diagnosis.
Avoid giving him stimulants like D.H.A, etc to prevent such excitation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
