Does anyone else feel extreme pain during an RLS episode?
Hi all!
To preface: I also have epilepsy and my seizures do not cause pain to my joints/muscles (unless I fall or hit something)
Whenever my RLS is rough, I feel a sharp, repetitive pain shoot straight up from essentially my toes to pelvis. It takes over my whole leg. I end up with muscle spasms so bad I go for walks throughout the house.
I’ve tried: gabapentin, baclofen, propranolol, and vitamin supplements (magnesium and iron mostly)
I’m at the point of taking naproxen in the middle of the night. Any suggestions? I can’t even sit in the car some days!
