Restless legs is part and parcel of cirrhosis you could try drinking tonic water or ask your doctor for quinine tablets

Which hospital are you under

in reply to Nuttie50

It can be caused by a lack of magnesium. Prawns are the answer

Get some Sifrol from your doctor. Works for me.

Cheers,

I have restless legs caused by extremely low ferratin levels. I take iron sulphate as I am usually anaemic and it stops the restless legs. Don't just start taking iron, check with your gp or consultant whether you're anaemic or not. Too much iron with some liver conditions can cause major problems.
