Hi Julie

Good to see that you found us, from the other site. ;) I am unable to answer your question, but wanted to say hello. :)

My doctor sent me to several specialist for my back and finally one recommended a TENS unit he helped me pick out one and I helped me to be able to walk longer but I have never been to a doctor that did anything for my RLS except give me medicine. If your medicine is not helping talk to your doctor there is several kinds he can try you on. Ask him to give you just enough to last until your next appointment. I got tired of paying high prices for medicine I could not take. Good Luck.

It didnt help with my RLS either....something i wouldnt really recommend buying unless you have other pain issues which it can help with...even then, when i used it for a painful arm, the phsyio said it didnt go deep enough into my tissues to help and he was right...!
