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 pretty sure this is neurological. First, I have had restless legs syndrome since I was little. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I am 45 now. I can get it just in my legs or whole body. It isn't pain, just creepy crawly and I take meds. For awhile now, maybe over a period of 10 years, I have noticed that I am super hypersensitive to touch, especially my legs which can cause them to start "acting up".
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.
Please can one of the doctors help me. I desperately need sleep because I have been plagued by this horrible infliction for the past 2 months now. It can keep me awake most of the night & sleep only comes early morning when this funny horrible sensation subides.
My doctor has offered me tablets called Pramipexole/Mirapexin but I understand they are a brain blocker & I only take them when I am absolutely desperate.
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.
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 feel for you. I broke my back L-1 burst fracture in an auto accident in 2003. I had surgery to put two rods and eight screws put in my back. After two years I was still in incredible pain so I had another surgery to remove the instrumentation in hopes of decreasing the pain. Well it's 11 years later and I have been in pain every day since then. I have tried everything from pain pills to physical therapy to steroid shots to chiropractic care and I'm still in pain.
I'm 9 weeks +5 and have HORRIBLE restless legs at night. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if so any advice on relief? I barely get to sleep before 1am anymore and i'm miserable.
I'm only almost 8 weeks but I have been experiencing restless legs as soon I get in bed. I workout, tired stretching but it keeps me up!!! Its a weird feeling and I have never experienced this. Does anyone else have this??
With my first baby I had restless legs while pregnant...now that I'm pregnant again it has came back...is there thing I can do to not have it...it's only when I go to sleep and I'm not getting the sleep I need to be getting..
Does anyone else suffer from restless legs during their pregnancy? I'm 11 weeks, and wake up at night feeling like my legs are in an electrical socket. I have to get up and walk around all night and it's awful! I had this with my 1st pregnancy but definitely not this early! Is there anything to do to fix it?
Do yall have any tips on how to settle restless legs. This is our 3rd baby and iv had them thru each pregnancy but this pregnancy is the worst with them. I can't even fall asleep they are so bad at times. I make sure to cut out any kind of caffeine and sugar well before bed time but still end up with them.
My friend is a sports therapy doctor and he told Mr to do this. I have restless legs really bad and painful cramps. Take a 15-20 min walk before bed and then drink two 8oz glasses of tonic water. They get a Lil achy still but the pain has lessened so much that I usually get up to only tinkle in the night.
Anyone here experiencing restless legs? I'm 8 weeks along and have only experienced restless legs prior to pregnancy when using sleeping pills. Now it seems to happen many nights, though not as severe as when I used to be medicated. I know baths help, but those are not always a possibility. Anyone know of other things that might help?
I have got the worst case of RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) ever since I hit my 7.2 month mark. I have never had this problem before then and it is making it almost impossible to sleep. I'm always so so tired when I wake up because my sleep gets interrupted every 30 minutes or so by violent leg jerking and the annoying restless feeling. I've tried putting a pillow between my legs, drinking more water, cutting caffeine, and stretching before bed but nothing seems to work.
I heard it bad for the baby if ant hotteelr. Just warm bath and you sit in it for a little. It helps with my restless legs.
I get restless legs and Body alot while I'm trying to sleep and nothing seems too help. Is too here anything I can do?
