Hi I wondering if anyone here has had distortion in their legs from RLS. I've had RLS for years but past years been bad and I've noticed my left leg is bowing out both are deforming. Thank you

I would see your doctor about your bowing of your legs, its not anything to do with RLS that i know of.

Almost certainly not restless legs. Get it diagnosed properly- anything like that should be seen to. Could be rickets.

We are not doctors here.

No l haven't got this l just looked maybe other people have this symptom but maybe you should get it checked by the doctor

I'm glad you checked with us since RLS does weird things, but I'm sorry to say that this one takes the cake. I would definitely follow the advice from others about going to your doctor.

Take care,

Adults only develop bowWomen's legs-leggedness after some kind of trauma to the knees. It may be mild but persistent stress on the joint or joints. So, there are certain activities which can give rise to bow legs later in life.

The most obvious example being horse-riding. The condition is much more common among jockeys, whether or not they had rickets as a child.

I don't think it's RLS. If it's RLS adding zinc to your diet will help you. But it's distortion of limb where homeopathic medicine cicuta virosa works like wonder. (email address deleted - Kaarina Admin)
