Restless legs &Leg pain

I'm sorry to hear the pain you are having in legs.Some good information in the feedback .

when I get leg pain I drink tonic water , as it has quinine in that really helps

only a couple of glasses though .I think you have to be careful with quinine.

I'll have to try that as nothing else helps.

Yes, I have a mug of tonic water before bedtime and though it doesnt cure the restless legs, it does make it much less severe.

Hi there

I have a glass of diet tonic water each night as per gp. She also mentioned to put my hands against the wall and for me to lean against and stretch one just the once for me and hold it for a couple of seconds and then do the same with the other leg just before you get into bed. It does help as does the tonic water to help lessen the restless leg. It's like doing the river dance in bed some times 🤣 xxx
