Just my annual income here (i.e., two cents)....
To start with, I've been a "kicker" all my life (I suppose this may be the related syndrome of PLMD).
More recently, I have had an encephalitic parkinsonian syndrome and have had the more mild CNS symptoms of it since 2001, which come to think of it, is about when I started having instances of minor REM sleep behavior disturbances. I had a tendency namely to punch into the air during my more angry dreams, and once my fist decided to go straight for a (cinder-backed) dorm room wall. This represents the only injury the issue has ever caused me.
To my knowledge, my RBSD hasn't gotten any worse (but I can't say the same for my parkinsonism!!).
Also, throwing out a warning here... to the users of sedative-hypnotics (especially Ambien/zolpidem), RBSD and other amnesiatic sleep behavior disorder is a very well-known side effect of these meds. There've even been cases documented of sleep-driving(!). So take care.
