Message: <blockquote data-quote="jacks69" data-source="post: 233214" data-attributes="member: 39420">I sypathise with you fully on the leg pain and restless legs.  For the past 4 or 5 months i have been suffering with this problem.  Sometimes it feels like i am dragging someone elses legs around with me - they feel so heavy and achy.  Its always worse at nights and cause of the restlessness i dont get very restful sleep which just seems to add to the problem.Plenty of rest helps and keeping the legs straight for a while before bed.  I have been given dulexetine which was awful made me feel dopey all day but didnt do that much for my legs and now am just about to try the one u are taking.I use ice gel on my calves sometimes before bed and that helps -one doc at my sugery thinks its neuropathy and only way to sort is to bring glucose levels under control but another doc there sent me for blood tests to check the enzymes in my blood as that can affect the muscles.  If you find out anything better for a solution would be grateful if you would let me know</blockquote>
