Sleeve surgery & RLS

[shedevil 23]

Does anyone else have restless leg syndrome? It drives me bonkers & usually there are only a couple of things that help. #1 I take a hot bath at night & #2 I have to take aspirin. Having said that I don't know what to take to help now. Tylenol just doesn't do the job & I know we can't have nsaids. Did it get better for anyone? Oh, I've tried the pharmaceuticals & they make me a space cadet & I worry about safety for me & others who put up with me.Thanks.

I did when I was pregnant so I feel your pain. I would say to ask your Dr specifically about it.

Also, if you can (in the meantime) take baths at night. If that helps you and keeps you from having to take more meds that sounds like a good option.

Hope someone else can weigh in and help.

Ask your doctor to prescribe Requip. It works great!

I have restless leg syndrome also. I have had it for many years. I take Requip. I used to take one before bed. Since surgery I have to take 2 now before bedtime. Baths help me alot.

Requip is what made me spacey!

Have you tried Magnesium before bed? Look for a capsule as the pills are huge and hard to swallow. Also Hyland makes a homeopathic remedy for RLS and leg cramps. It's about $6.00 and available at Walmart or Whole Foods.

Good luck to you!
