Seriously folks. Do any of you guys have this? I can usually deal with it ok but I happened to strain my back pretty severley last week and the combo is killing me. I'm not a drinker, so that is not an option.

Anybody?

Nope. Then again, in my younger years, what is now a "syndrome" merely got you labeled a "twitchy little mofo".

Ha ha. Yeah, no twitches, but burning pain. It used to be called "sore legs."

Its a strange fluid pain that is hard to describe. Oddly enough it started when I stopped drinking six years ago and has steadily worsened.

Oh no!! The Jimmy Legs!!!!

(Seriously...that sucks, bro. Hope you feel better.)

djk,

Yes I suffer from RLS... not as bad as I used to as it comes and goes..

If you have a PCD have him/her schedule you for a sleep study and also have a complete bloodwork completed... this will give your doctor some insight to look into and assist your situation...

Thanks Hog. I have a follow up on Wed. Blood work came back ok, but no sleep study yet.

I had it also, but hasn't bothered me for a couple of years.

What hog said. My doc gave me klonipin(SP?) for it, and it helped a lot.

It might be referred pain from your back. Worthy of an eval by PCP or chiropractor. Restless legs can usually be controlled with stretching and or exercise...

My wife claims I have it. You'd think if I kicked hard enough to leave a bruise, it would wake me up, too. I guess I learned more in those karate classes than I thought.

Acupuncture..

cycleman had it i think...

i have rps (restless **** syndrome for those not in the medical profession). one reason why my dogs don't sleep on the bed.

#9. Perhaps just an excuse to kick your wife?

I have had 3 rounds of blood clots in my right leg.

But when I couldn't sleep.... benadryl (3 of them) work pretty good, but take an hour to hit ya...

And ambien is now my drug of sleep choice, but rarely take them now. and BE WARNED.... Don't take it until you are IN BED and ready to fall asleep. If you take it and then walk around the house thinking you'll get tired and go off to bed.... WRONG! You end up sleep walking and not remembering at what point you were awake. Danger Will Robinson.... but take it when you crawl in bed and you'll sleep like a baby. I have tried the Ambien CR a few times but always had horrific vivid nightmares.....

Hope you get better bro...

I have this every morning, its really hard.

Anyone have restless 3rd leg syndrome?

Isn't that what Irox was talking about in 15.???

Irox = IUROX

djk,

not sure where your at with this?

but I recently went back to taking these pills and dealing with the RLS again recently...

you can pick these up over the counter at Walmart or CVS/Walgreens..

I'd still also talk with your PCM

been taking these again for the past 3 days and last night I had a good nights rest for once..

Marijuana.

No side effects, a nice little relaxing buzz, and it definately calms down RLS quite effectively. Check it out.
