Hi There, I also have DDD and RLS and I have had 5 back surgeries and if you want to know about backs etc here is a good site to check out. m My rls got worse after the back surgeries but after the last one this past June 1 and it was the biggie right now my legs are fine. I don't have pain with my ...

Hi Mark, The meds you are talking about I have never taken but the neurontin. Right now my rls are still good, no problems. I am taking 300mg's 3 or 4 times a day, mirapex 0.5mg's the same as neurontin. I also take oxycodone 5mg's 3 times a day for the pain from the surgery. And at nite the cloneapi...

hi Crystina, I feel so bad for you because I believe we have all been where you are now. I was having a terrible time back in the winter and I found out I was taking too much requip and getting augmentation and having rls 24/7. After working with my doctors and changing my meds around and going thro...

I just went to the chat room and I had to download java and then I was in the chat lobby. I don't know if that is the rls rm or how to find the rls room. thanks Jeannie

I forgot to tell you that over at yahoo they have a back chat rm for ppl with bad back etc. It's under Health and Wellness, back chat rm 2. Good luck once again, Jeannie

Hi and welcome to the USA and here. I have to agree with Susan about the augmentation because I went through that in a big way earlier this year. I also share your problem of back pain. Right now I am recovering from my 3rd fusion and I have had altogether 5 back surgeries. With my back surgeries I ...

I chat in yahoo chat rooms or room. I said something about a RLS chat room but was told no. Every day I chat at yahoo health and wellness and then back chat room 2. I have been chatting there for 4 years and it is a great room for ppl with back problems. And I love the fact that you can make the fon...

Hi Elizabeth, I am on mirapex 0.5mg 4 times a day but just read the bottle and it says 3 times . I have always been very careful not to fall because I have had 5 back surgeries and falling would not be good. But I have to say that I don't feel clumsy. With all the pain I have had in my back I have n...

Hi Heidi, One more story of RLS. Everyone is different when it comes to RLS and I am no different. For me it has been as long as I can remember and I am now 71, so you know I went through many years of sit still, stop rocking the bed etc. I am lucky in that there is no pain but I can kick my legs so...

Hi All, As you know I had my 1st back x-ray on July 2nd after having the surgery. I sent them to Baltimore for my surgeon to see and he called me yesterday. He said everything looks good and I asked why is my back making a popping sound? He asked me afew questions and then told me I am to do nothing...

Mark thanks for the answer and yes all is still good. I am waiting to hear from the surgeon about the x-ray but still no RLS. You said you have insomnia and many years ago when I went to see a neuro dr he didn't know about RLS but he did give me clonazepam to help me sleep. At that time it worked fo...

Hi Mark, I have been taking neurontin since my 1st back surgery back in October 2002. I can't remember what I started out on but within a 2 week period I had it up to 900mg's a day. I have always taken mine over the course of the day and at 1 time was up to 3000mg's a day. It has always stopped my r...

Hii Deb, I have had three nerve tests all on my arms checking for nerve damage in my neck. Like everyone else said, it is uncomfortable. For me it was how long it took but when the test started it was not that bad. The only place it got some what interesting was in my hand. But it's only for a minut...

Hi All, I am happy to report that each day I feel better and am able to do more but, I do need that nap sometime during the day. Today was a busy one, up early because the dog was groomed, he is beautiful now. Got a shower and hubby put the brace on me. It is not only hot but it's heavy. But when I ...
