Feeling

[nimitagg95]

When i get strange feeling in my legs , i get someone to sit on my calf and legs . That feeling then subsides, What can be possible causes of my RLS?

It can be Iron deficiency, kidney problems, diabetes, drug related or genetic to name but a few causes.

You would really need your Dr to run a heap of blood tests - FBC, Iron Profile, Urea & Electrolytes and Fasting Blood Sugar to name a few.

A visit and consult with your Dr is a good first starting point to work out what is going on.

Good luck.

RLS can be triggered by medication side effects (if you're on any prescription meds, do an internet search for side effects of each), it can be triggered by a lot of caffeine, carbs and sugar in your diet (anything that will stimulate your nervous system), it can be triggered by aggravating your lower back (this is the reason I deal with it, so I do lower back exercises and use an inversion table regularly). It's hereditary, and also has a world of other possible causes like iron deficiency, etc. Just search this forum for lots of tips on what to try. But I would suggest looking first at any meds you might be on to eliminate that as a possibility, then your diet, then go from there.
