RLS and neuropathy?

hey all, hope you’re doing well.

Although I’ve been on Oxycodone consistently enough to keep the RLS at bay, I have noticed new symptoms of what seems to be peripheral neuropathy.

in addition to the feelings of electrocution, which is what my RLS feels like, I have burning in my extremities. My hands are the worst.

Does anyone else have this combination of symptoms?

Yes, I have both. I also get electric shock down back of leg and tugging and pulling which drives me insane. It feels like someone has put an electric cattle prod behind my knee and dragging it up and down my leg 24/7

Ugh. I am so sorry you are suffering with this. I wonder if the two are related, or just our poor luck?

Not what you're looking for?
