Does Recurring Dull Pain In Legs During Night Be Restless Leg Syndrome?
Hello, I have a dull pain in my legs during night for almost 2 years. Somehow, I manage to fell in sleep, and then, I wake up around 4 ot 5 am. The pain in my legs is according by heaviness in my heart. My legs feel very warm and I feel like when I move them to the colder area on my matrass, they feel better. The moment, they get warm, the pain comes back. I stopped sleeping. It becomes my nightmare... They doctors think that this is a restless leg syndrome, but the pills they prescribe from this problem, don t help. Are there any tests I can get to have a clear and correct diagnose? Ultrasound, etc.? Thank you! Victoria.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Restlessleg syndrome. There is no cause for this disease but usually it is due to over activity of the brain. I would suggest you to get your serum B 12 estimation as some time this can cause RLS. Meanwhile I have following suggestions for you.
1. Try to sleep at a fixed time, avoid late night sleep. Avoid coffee in night time.
2. If you would be my patient, then I would suggest you Amytryptalin daily.
3. Capsaicin ointment local application will also give relief.
4.After B 12 test is done you can also take Methylcobal tablet daily.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
