Restless legs after a total knee replacement

[viviansmith]

2014 I had a right total knee replacement about a year later I developed rls.I have never had rls before. Its been almost 4 years now since the surgery and really wish I would have never had it if I would have known what was to come.Ive read people do get rls after the surgery but it doesn't last 4 years.Is this permanent now! I am now thinking of going to a chiropractic maybe there is a pinched nerve in there or something. Has this happened to anyone else? And its only in the leg that had the surgery.😢

So awful to get RLS after surgery...proves that it's caused by something and not just in the mind......what has your GP or surgeon said?? My relief by listening to music really isn't going to help that much for you...hope you get some treatment soon..

The Drs.dont really understand or Dont care.I've been reading @bout how it may be a compressed or pinched nerve and there are chiropractors that specialize in rls, so I may give that a try,you never know?😕

That might work.. I've not heard of this before, but your potential solution sounds logical..
