Answer 1

Have you tried seeing a chiropractor?

Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic deals with more than just "neck and back pain." Chiropractic is founded in the principle that the Central Nervous System (our brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls EVERY bodily function. When the spinal column is misaligned, the vertebrae can pinch the nerves that run out between them and cause pain, numbness/tingling, or any type of general malfunction in that nerve's corresponding body part. It's important to understand that the nerves that run down our arms and legs originate from the spine, so if there is any pressure on those nerves at the spinal level, it can result in this tingling/buggy sensation you are experiencing.

I'm not saying that this is the definite cause of your problem, but it might be something to at least consider. Chiropractic works to remove this neural interference via adjustments (if this is indeed the cause of the problem). Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive healthcare option that doesn't use surgery or drugs that could have potentially harmful side effects.

So if you do decide to see a chiropractor, ask family and friends for recommendations, visit a few offices, and choose the doctor that you are most comfortable with. No matter what you decide to do, I sincerely hope that things work out for you. Best of luck!

Hello, (ANS) YES! my 70 year old mum suffers from restless leg syndrome in her case its difficult because its also linked or appears to be a side effect of her treatment for epilepsy. NOTE: Restless leg syndrome is a well documented and known condition generally it tends to affect women more than men, and it tends to appear more often in older people. That is people over 50years old. **Restless leg syndrome is a neurological condition. In my mums case its pretty random and appears without any pattern or warning. It can be in the day time or late at night or in the small hours too. My mum finds walking around for about 5-10mins helps settle it down. **One of my close friends is a retired GP (family doctor) who told me that restless leg syndrome can often be treated successfully with drugs, so perhaps its worth going to see your family doctor to see if you could get any help with your symptoms. **YES! my mums sleep patterns are upset she suffers from chronic insomnia which is a side effect of Lamotragine which she takes to control her epilepsy but she often gets restless legs in the middle of the night as well so has to walk up and down before she can try to go back to bed again. Hope thats of some help? Kind Regards Ivan
