Suggest Remedy For Leg Pain While Treating Restless Leg Syndrome
I am experiencing restless leg syndrome. Lately, it has been isolated in my left foot.. About one week ago I broke my fibula and fifth metatarsal in that same leg.. It becomes very painful when this occurs.. Does it have something to do with the break, and is there any treatment or way to lessen the pain. Thanks

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have leg pain while treating restless leg syndrome. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , neuropathy , DVT , muscle spasm or multiple Sclerosis , but in your case the symptoms is due to restless leg syndrome which is a neurological disorder. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon as well as psychiatrist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe methotrexate , anti inflammatory , gabapentin long with nerve supplement and recommend physical therapy . Along with that doctor may also prescribe antiepileptic drug I would suggest you to do light stretching exercises along with gentle massage , apply warm compresses on entire leg and take muscle relaxants like orthodox MR . Do not sit or stand for long time in one position , do yoga , meditation , avoid alcohol and caffeinated products and keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
