I have suffered from a form of restless leg for over 20 years, when my brain wants to relax especially at bed time, my leg muscles in top & bottom start to go into spasm, causing my legs to kick out. Its so sever that if prevents me from falling asleep. I am on tablets called Ropinerol they work to a point but the older I get the worse the spasms get.
I am a 39 year old male that has suffered for years with restless legs, leg/joint pain, both of which have caused many sleepless nights. The pain is more noticeable during weather changes (doesn't matter if its warm to cold or cold to warm). My legs twitch almost constantly and is very noticeable especially when sleeping, I have been told i have had my legs have spasmed to my chest. I have also had multiple arthroscopic knee surgeries due to a parachuting accident when i was younger.
I am 80 yaer old, my doctor diagnosed my case as Restless Leg Syndrome. The symptoms had started three years ago. I would like to know what is the newest up to date medicine. I'm using (Pramipexole) but I suffer a dizziness side effect. I need your help to use a medicine which have not such side effect. Thanks in advance.
Talk with your doctor abd see if he or she can put you on a medication called Pramipexole. I am taking it for RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) It prevents my legs from jerking and twitching so I can sleep at night. First looking into it too see if that is something you might.
It might be restless leg syndrome. RLS is most likely to involve lower extremities but can involve other body parts as well. I got a bad case of it towards the end of my last tx, 48 weeks of triple tx with Incivek. The RLS hit me at about week 36 and continued until about a week after I quit the meds. My internist prescribed a small dose of Pramipexole (a Parkinson's drug) for it but I hated the way it made me feel.
I had spinal fusion of the l2, l3, l4, l5 and s1 on June 13th, 2011. I am in constant pain now that ranges from a 6 to a 9. The pain that I have is in the lower right back, across the front of the right thigh area (up high in the hip area) spreads into the groin and then down the right leg to the knee cap. I also have what I refer to as "restless leg syndrome". This RLS as I call it comes on sometime shortly after I go to bed.
At night when I try to go to bed my leg gets real restless .. I'm not sure how to describe how it feels .. Not like painful but more annoying than anything?
Has anyone else experienced this when they trying to sleep and if so, what did you do to try to get it to go away?
Nocturnal cramps can be associated with pregnancy, obesity, smoking, iron deficiency and anemia, nerve disease, polyneuropathy (which can be associated with hypothyroidism, heavy metal toxicity, toxins, and many other conditions), other hormone disease, such as diabetes, and kidney failure (which can be associated with vitamin and mineral deficiency
Some drugs and medications have been associated with restless leg syndrome including caffeine, alcohol, H2-histamine blockers and certain antidepr
Hello dear and welcome to the medhelp forum. Restless leg syndrome is seen in association with stress, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, caffeine use and if you have been withdrawn from sedatives. You must try massaging your legs, warm baths and gentle stretching exercises. There are medicines, which have been effective in controlling symptoms like requip. Take iron supplements if iron deficiency has been detected.
m going to have to go through my supplements and meds. The only new med is the Pramipexole .05 twice a day (Mirapex). The supplements are Sam-E, D 2000, A and Magnesium 250 twice a day. I'm going to cut the Pramipexole to once a day. Does anyone see if any one of these would cause this or is there a virus going around?
I got some restless leg at night and it is really hard on me. There is no cure but everyone says it goes away after baby arrives.
As for mucus plug, I lost mine around 37 weeks but went to 40 weeks despie baby being nice and low at 35 weeks already. There is no hard science between losing plug and labor. You are sooo close to your due date though!!!
Has anyone tried Pramipexole (Mirapex, Mirapexin, Sifrol) for chronic pain? I have had low back pain for about 15 years now. I finally got someone to do an MRI back in June (I think, it was slightly before summer 2016) and they found a herniated disc at L4-L5 and a degenerated disc at L5-S1. The neurosurgeon decided surgery wasn't worth the risk and pain treatment was the best option.
Has anyone used a patch? The only med I take is pramipexole.
Around 30 weeks I started having what was sort of like leg cramps. Did some research and realized it was Restless leg syndrome... They ache and you pretty much have to move them all the time. It was keeping me up at night. But like most pregnancy symptoms, they come and go. I suggest drink lots of water. I mean lots! Just doing that eased alot of my symptoms.
is it a Charlie horse cramp or more the restless legs feeling...
