I hear that restless leg is caused by an increase in the uric acid (that is the latest thought although not proven) in the body. It causes a hype sensitivity of the neural impulses which results in the "twitching" and constant movement in the extremity, other theories are that if is caused by the build up of toxins, other than uric acids, or even accidental poisoning from the over use of medications..
There is quite the difference in RLS and neuropathy so be careful when describing any symptoms to your medical dudes or dudetts
If you are just talking about cramps ... those terrible ones you just can get rid of that too is another thing
Gabapentin would be a horrible mistake
For Restless leg... if you dont have renal problems make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated.. thats 2 liters of water a day at least, no more than 3.5 unless you exercise or sweat alot....
By the way... Sweat like a pig...... I dont think that pigs do sweat... I am sure someone her knows..
Cut back on your Protein intake... especially Red Meats...that break down into uric acids... You might notice that RLS seems to get worse about 30 to 60 minutes after a meal.. and often in bed you will have that wiggling of the leg... it is not involuntary.
Your urine output should be at least 500 cc per day... thats at the most minimum.. If not you need more water.... again unless you have kidney disease, Congestive heart failure etc...
I have seen Lyrica use for RLS its results are varied
Valium is a hit or miss.
Flexaril is an option, but not recommended, and it takes several doses before it actually works.. Thats why many people say,, dat stuff dont work.. I took a pill and nothin... takes about 3 doses to become effective or 24 hours (usually rx tid)
Explore your diet and hydration first.
Coffee is a bean, beans are high in protein, meats .. google protein in foods and limit them
Restless leg involves the neurotransmitters.... nicotinic acids etc.... The goal is to reduce their threshold.
Someone mentioned dopamine... that could help... not a great idea and lots of danger. I wouldn't try it but worth a search on a good site to look for research.
Chochincine used to treat gout might help
Before anything differentiate what is really going on.
Is it RLS Neuropathy MS...
Do the easiest least harmful treatment first. There is no magic pill.
Hydration and diet.
WALKING.... Moving the muscles promotes extracellular fluid movement and allows for the transport of any toxins outside the body.. That is great advise there.....
Skelaxin zanaflex flexaril... mabye...
Make sure your not taking tooooooo much tylenol from PKs or getting some bunk stuff that breaks down into cyanide.... Use the guys here to find your other supplies... they can be trusted.
