Rls and numbness

[Melly159]

Hi I'm new to this I am only 23 and have suffered with rls since I was very young, it is getting worse as I get older I am also now getting numb legs when I sit for to long or when I am sleeping, steaming from my hip, due to this I am struggling with sleeping, I also had my knee cap pop out of place a few weeks ago with hasn't really helped my situation. Is there anyone going through the same thing and does anyone know what it is or what is happening to my legs.

Many thanks

Hi I just said to someone else I also have Raynaud’s phenomenon this causes numbness

I have been told it’s common to other conditions such as fibromyalgia I have all three

Hi Melly

Since RLS mainly affects motor nerves and numbness is due to sensory nerves I'd say your numbness is not due to RLS

I have numbness in various places since I was young. I often got it in my left arm and discovered it was due to a misplaced vertebra in my neck.

I have permanently numb feet for many years, due to a spinal neoropathy.

These days I also get daily numbness in my hands due to wrist poblems.

I'm guessing, but is only a guess that you may have some problem with your hips. Whether or not it's related to your knee problem is another matter.

I think you need to discuss this with a doctor.
