How To Relax A Painful And Restless Leg?
I have pain in my legs at night, I have been told that I have IT BAND SYNDROME, but I have also been told I HAVE RESTLESS LEG ,once I sit down at nite the pain starts and I cant get comfortable to sleep. It anges from burning sensations to actual pain. pain meds such as ultram or muscle relaxers do not help.

Hi with your kind of symptoms , night leg pain with burning sensation i am inclined to think in terms of some pressure on the nerves in the back- . Now do you get relief after sleeping on your tummy? If that is so then it is probably due to narrowing in the spinal canal. You may have to undergo a MRI to confirm the diagnosis
