Suggest Treatment For Restless Leg Syndrome
I have restless leg syndrome and now my legs hurt and when I sit my lower back and abdomen hurt. I can t sleep. I put patches all over my legs and shins were it hurts. Use a thumper that vibrates the soreness in my thighs. My doctor tells me to excersise more, oh my god! I suffer after that. I clean house or carry my grandkids around, by the end of day, I m having awful pains. It s really gotten bad!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have 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 As the symptoms can also by stress , depression and anxiety . 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 apply warm compresses on entire leg and take muscle relaxants like orthodox MR .Avoid alcohol and caffeinated products and keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes. Relaxing exercises like meditation can also help alot .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
