Restless legs

[Mondie]

Hi All

Hope you are all doing ok today, the sun is finally shining here so that is making me smile!

I just had a quick question...I have suffered from RLS for as long as I can remember, but recently it has got more frequent and today I can feel it in my feet.

This is a new sensation, has anyone else suffered for restless feet as well as legs?

Thanks in advance.

I used to suffer with it quite a bit on and off. I found out that cold and flu tablets and sleeping tablets can set it off in a few people. It's very frustrating. Have you tried elevating your feet and legs with a couple of pillows, this used to help me.

I get RLs in the night. My solution is to get up, come downstairs and stand on the concrete floor in my kitchen which is cold... in the summer I go into my garden and stand on the patio. The cooling of my feet relieves the RLs.If that doesn't work I stand in the shower and run COLD water on my feet.

I have also read that Vitamin B supplements help.

I've read that magnesium can help restless legs :)

Arrrggg.... RLS... I know it well. A side effect from chemo for me. That along with a plethora of other pleasantries.

I would speak with your doctor if it's persistent. RLS is linked to magnesium deficiencies. I take a medication that quells the RLS and neuropathy issues I have. Perhaps there is something in a low dose that can alleviate the symptoms.

I suffer from this it comes and goes for me sometimes I'll go for days without it but then it comes on. For me it's like a water feeling down my legs or sometimes around my thighs I check sometimes as I think I've wet myself silly I know

I get restless legs in my cafls and omg is it annoying! I haven't found any solution to it yet, apart from going to sleep lol.

Thanks guys, it's horrible isn't it! I had my wisdom tooth out yesterday and think it might be a reaction to the novacaine as I have never had it this bad for a long time. Husband has been massaging my feet which has helped somewhat, hope to gone by the morning!

I had this past two nights having not had it since pregnancy. No idea why its kicked in but my whole legs figit like there are ants in them.

I've had this since I was a kid. An ex girlfriend told me a great solution that actually worked: when you feel it, even if you don't need one get up and have a wee. No more restless legs.

Yes that's what I did last night!!
