Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Hi Cate my SIL has RLS, it first began in her 40s and it is so bad at times she finds it unbearable to travel on long car journeys.Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Thanks for that Mags, I had the injections on Thursday and really don't think it is anything to do with it, at least I hope its not.Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
I did have it in both knees and the thing is I felt a bit run down the day after which was probably down to lack of sleep. May be as the time goes by the RLS to ease up. I have had it in the past usually when I have over done it, walking or standing but not that bad.Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
As Meg says Cookiecate, get the doctor to check your iron levels - If you have been on a diet your iron may have got a bit low and that might have something to do with it. Other than that I am not sure if there is a known cure. Perhaps a warm bath to relax your muscles before bed might help. The good side is that the cortisone injections have helped relieve your pain. I hope it improves soon. Best wishes. RenaRe: Restless Leg Syndrome
Thank you for that,, I will mention to the doctor that I have been eating loads of fruit, chicken, fish and salads which don't always have the iron in but taste good.Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Hope things improve for you CC. I can sympathise with you if you have got RLS. I've suffered with this for a few years, and it drives me insane! Every few weeks for a couple of nights it occurs-my legs take on a mind of their own when I go to bed and won't stay still no matter what I do. Sitting for long periods also seems to trigger it off. Doctor did check my Iron levels but they were ok-definitely worth getting yours checked though.Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Re: Restless Leg Syndrome
Thanks Joe, I will certainly try this next time. This is such a horrible thing that you would almost try anything.
