GUEST,wombat BS: Nightime leg cramps (139* d) RE: BS: Nightime leg cramps 17 Feb 09


I find that I only get one restless leg at a time and if I position the "good" leg on top of the "bad" leg and fight the impulse to move the lower leg - that I can fall asleep. However, if I get RL during the day (usually when sitting for awhile) there is nothing that I can do but get up and move around. I have heard recently that there may be a link between restless leg and strokes - probably lack of circulation. I know there is a drug now, Requip, I believe. Anyone taking that? How does it work? I also get occasional cramps in my feet at night, or up my shin and much less frequently a groin cramp. Any suggestions for that, aside from the salt, magnesium and soap in the bed?
