Do You Suffer From Restless Limb Syndrome?
13 Answers
Do any of you have restless limb syndrome? How I describe my symptoms is I usually get an ache in my back that feels like it needs to be cracked, like a tension kind of feeling. Then it usually ends up with the irresistible urge to move my legs, having to shake them for a good while continuously. Now I could hold them still but the urge is too strong and I have to keep moving them. Sometimes it is in my arms occasionally and sometimes in my hip area. Anyone else experience this?

My other half suffers, or suffered, from this.
He had blood tests and Doppler scans on his legs, what he suffers from is nothing like the ‘restless legs’ I had, and still have occasionally. His was dreadful, quite painful almost, and lasted hours.
He was prescribed Ropinirole at a low dose, which worked for a while. It was increased, then increased again, and now, touch wood, he’s been free of symptoms for a few months. He prefers to take Ropinirole than any of the other suggested medications, even though Ropinirole is not the first suggested medication for this distressing condition.
I would advise you to go to your GP and explain how this is impacting your life.
