Hi Sian, There is an over the counter medicine called Buscopan. It is now advertisied for IBS but it soothes muscular pain and I take it when I have restless legs. It does make you drowsy

I suffer the same. I work on my feet all day. This worked for me. Cut down on refined sugar, zero alcohol. Moisturiser on my feet before sleep. Helps cool them down. I also have one of those deep muscle massager. Run that over the soles of my feet and calves. Massive improvement. Restless legs used to drive me nuts, it's awful. This routine has helped massively. Worth a try.

OMG (being dying to use that) I cannot stand anything touching any part of my feet.

Buy some magnesium spray for sleep from Amazon I have found it helps quite a bit for my restless legs

Everything everybody says on here with a bucket of sympathy thrown in. I know exactly what you are going through, I explained exactly that to someone in a shop the other week and saw that look of disbelief again. It has been a while since I saw that so it is good to know the non-medically qualified experts are alive and well.
