could leg problems be from vicodin

i am on the back side of xanax additcion. i tappered off over a 9 month 2 week period. among some of the wierd with draw symptoms were restless leg syndrome and very cold legs. also pain, (mostly in the left leg) and what i think was seizure activity in the legs. fierce contracting and then relaxing, then zapping and "sparking" in them, also a nerve up my left leg drove me insane. even my face would slightly contourt. it goes away, but comes back with less intensity each time. anyway, i have been reading about the leg problems people have been having with the opiates.

i have had a perocet or vicodin precription on and off for about 2 years. since dec 7, 2007 i have had a 60 pill bottle of vicodin 5/500, there are 8 left. that averages not even 1/3 pill a day.  but i need to consider if there might be some kind of addiction here. or if the vicodin might of contributed to the rls and cold legs at all. the vicodin would take a very slight edge off the nerve pain and also helped with migranes. also i'm concerned about liver damage. my last liver profile showed elavated liver enzimes.

does any body think the vicodin is hurting the situation?    thanks very much
