That has been reported by others. I hope it settles.

I assume that if the steroid injection is a trigger for your RLS it will wear off.

I regularly have IV infusions of a high dose steroid, had one today. Ihave never noticed any worsening of my RLS, but I'm predicting I won't sleep well tonight!

That wear s off too, in afew days.

Cant help I'm afraid. I'm in the process of coming off Nuero patches almost 2 wks to go then I start on Pregabelin twice a day. Had a dreadful night last night didnt sleep a wink, getting quite good on solitaire, standing up. Hope you find what you need?
