Restless legs...........?


I have suffered on and off with a restless feeling in my legs mostly down by my calfs but lately its getting worse. It mostly happens in the evenings and its extremely uncomfortable,I cant sit still and then when I go to bed it gets worse, so much so that I end up getting out of bed and walking around for a while hoping it will go away. Eventually it does but comes back the next evening again.

I have been told that it could be because I dont have enough iron in my body, is that true or is it something else? Would appreciate any enlightenment on this matter as I am on the verge of screaming over this.

I also find that when I go to bed with the restless feeling in my leg and try to sleep.......my leg starts to jump almost like a muscle spasm or something

I'm providing a couple of links that should help you:

you that is called restless leg syndrome.. some ginger and salt will let your leggs relax

My RLS definitely gets worse when my iron is low. Drink more water, take iron pills and calcium. BUT don't take the iron and calcium at the same time. Take calcium in am and iron in pm.

my husband and son and daughter bounce their leg up and down ! it doesn't ache it's more like an urge to do it!
it is very common and i got told that it can be a vitamin b deficiency!!
try taking a b complex and see if it helps

hmmm dont know much about it, but yes i certainly know a source where you can find lots of information
Pls visit http://www.rls.org this might help

Thanks

IVE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS IN MY LEGS OR IN ONE LEG AT A TIME AND ITS HORRIBLE. IVE STARTED TAKING VITAMINS WITH MY FOOD , CALCIUM,MAGNESIUM,ZINC,POTASSIUM, VITAMIN C, GINKGO BILOBA COMPLEX,POTASSIUM GLUCONATE. ASK AT A HEALTH STORE FOR IDEAS AND IF NOTHING WORKS TAKE EFFERVESCENT TABLETS LIKE ALKA SELTZER OR EQUATE BRAND AT WAL MART. ALWAYS TAKE WITH MEALS ALSO I THINK WALKING ( EXERCISE) WILL HELP AND CARRY A COUPLE OF LIGHT WEIGHTS IN EACH HAND AND WALK UP A GRADE TOO RATHER JUST ON FLAT GROUND.

could be, you have iron defiency anaemia hence the spasm of legs as spasm is due to lack of oxygen getting to the tissues.....
