WHAT CAN I DO?

WELL, I'M ON DAY 16 AND FOR THE MOST PART I FEEL OK. I JUST CAN'T GET MY LEGS TO STOP HURTING. THEY ACHE ALL THE TIME. I'VE TRIED IBUPROPHIN, TYLENOL, ALEVE AND ASPRIN ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND NONE OF IT WORKS. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS??? PLEASE HELP...IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!

Exercise... Has worked wonders for me........

I've got the same problem - at night seems to be the worst.  hot showers help.  good luck

Bath as hot as you can handle, wrap in hot towel or ace bandage after getting out of the tub and eat lots and lots of bananas!!! The potassium in the nanas help a bushel....

[cathy5841]

hey its good to see you and i am glad you are doing good.  exercise, especially stretching should help some.  and crazy as it sounds eating a ton of bananas will help.  it replaces the potassium the pills depleted from your body.  or if you dont like the bananas you could take a potassium supplement.  you are doing great...hang in there

I don't have leg pains but I do have RLS. Getting in the hot tub has helped...or at least a regular tub (right before bed). If you can find someone to massage your legs that would help to...I still havent found anyone to do that for me.

I'VE GOT SOME POTASSIUM SUP'S. I'M GONNA TRY THAT.

Good idea.......best of luck....I hope it help as it should.

like everyone said....hot bath/hot tub. helps a ton. any vitamins and eating healthy....and honestly use bengay....it feels amazing....a little cold, but totally distracts from the leg restlessness. during the day if it bugs you use the icy-hot patches. good luck!

heating pad work wonders when you can use one......

heat and ace wrap...a friend used ben gay massage then ace wrap...getting exercis duing the day decreases this symptom and also releases endorphins so that u feel better

[Chi_Chi_Lover]

Exercise is the best thing, eat bananas, and heat. It takes time

[feohmoon]

Wrap your legs in ace bandages, it seems to work better than anything else.  I am sure the heat would help as well.
There are some natural remedies in my journal if you would like to check it out.
Peace and hang in there
