I get really bad restless legs at night, Dr is reluctant to prescribe anything as on a lot of other medications. Any advice on how I can stop this please
 
Try putting a pillow under your knees.
Also do check all your foods to see if any have aspartame in..my restless leg symptoms and pain in hips and muscles toy knees was pure aspartame, sweetener and preservative poisoning...

I didn't realize that restless legs would be sweetener related, that is in my diet every day. Thanks for the advice.

It could be sweetener related.. I'm not saying it definitely.

I ate sugar free gum and for birthdays and christmas always had drambuiee and diet coke... I literally was at one time on full DLA...and years of needless tests... Then they discovered a note from a rheumatologist (in Apr this year) that had been missed off my records... Likely Aspartame, sweetener intolerance dated 2003.

There are no tests for this poisoning..

Iron, B12 and Co-Q10 deficiencies can cause this. Have you been checked for anaemia?

Hi
I've had restless legs and uncomfortable prickly feelings and quite often my lower legs and feet felt so hot
That I couldn't sleep and had to slather on a load of cold cream/lotion in order to get some sort of relief ang get some sleep.

However about a year and a half ago I read about Mega Benfotiamine and decided, despite the cost, to give it a go. To my real amazement and pleasure the restlessness stopped within a week and now it's very very rare for me not to be able to sleep and most of the uncomfortable feelings have gone. I get it from Amazon uk.

Not sure if I have restless legs. My feet start to get overly hot and then I get electric shock type feelings in my feet, this makes me stamp on the floor and sometimes kick out. Is this restless legs?
