Had it for years. Just wondering if anyone else has it and how they managed it

Is it from needing more magnesium? I do get restlessness in general and cramp in legs in bed at night but try to take supplements when that happens.

Hmmm, not seen magnesium as a help but will look into it. I heard dopamine is cause/cure

Soda/tonic water I hear is a slight help

Can’t say for sure as I don’t have restless legs unless I’m at work

Tonic water contains quinine. That helps some

Better You (brand name) Magnesium Oil Spray.

Works a treat, especially before bed. Helps with sleep too

I do get it, I find mine is due to a lower back issue and sciatic problems. It seems to be worse based upon how I sit or lie. The only way of easing that works is either lower back massage, or nerve flossing exercises (Google it) help. Good luck OP ... you have my sympathy

I have bone cancer in my left thigh and knee, keep getting this up to my hip. Drives me mad.

Apparently lime and soda water before bed helps I've heard from other people I can't stand lime or soda water so never tried it myself

Weighted blankets help loads and are a lot more comfortable than they sound

If you are having unmanageable symptoms from it or all day as well as night

Or twitches in your arms as well as legs talk to your doctor and they can give you medication that really helps its the same medication used to treat parkinsons disease I was on it for a few years when I had really bad symptoms..some doctors have to be pushed to prescribe it than others as some doctors don't understand how bad it can be x

Magnesium spray for sure. Helped me.

Not a cure but I found a weighted blanket over my legs helped reduce it.

Certain antidepressants make it worse, I'm looking at you sertraline. The other most common cause is, apparently, low magnesium. I found a vibrating baby soother pad helped mine until I stopped taking sertraline. I rarely get it now.
