anything for tugging in leg

1 Reply

Has anyone found anything for the tugging pulling electric jabs in back of leg and front of thigh? I have it 24/7 , driving me insane. They upped the norspan patch, but I think it has made it worse going up 5mgs to 20mgs patch....I know that sounds weird. Please let me know if you have anything that has worked for you.

K&K - I take Hyland's Restful Legs (small tabs that melt in your mouth) and apply MagniLife Relaxing Leg Cream PM when I feel that tug and creeping feeling coming on. I have also started using a devise for electric stim of my feet and legs. I don't know that any of it would work for you but it usually gives me some relief. As a last resort I use one of those machines that moves your feet back and forth for a break. Even so, sometimes I end up just pacing the floor until I can tolerate a makeshift standing table I rigged up so I can read or work crossword puzzles for a while. Of course, this is in addition to taking magnesium and other OTC products daily. Good luck. BarnGir1
