Restless Knees

Post by reylene »

I have restless knees. I have the creepy crawly feeling constantly. The only thing that helps for a second is to crack my knees. Not sure if it's RLS. Anyone else have this same feeling? I went to the Chiropractor and he's really confused about my condition. Help anyone.

I have RLS and torn ligaments and tendons in my knees from a car accident 16 years ago. I pop my knees all the time to get rid of the creepy feelings. Can't say if it is the RLS or the torn ligaments and tendons I'm relieving. I only know I feel a little better afterwards.
Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Well it's great news to hear someone else feels like me. I'm not going crazy. LOL. I have been getting acupuncture for 2 weeks now and I don't think it's making a difference. Thanks for responding.

I can't say I have it in my knees - but, there is no body part that is immune, as far as I know. Face, trunk, arms, feet, so why not knees?

It's an EOD - equal opportunity disorder.

You most definitely are not going crazy. Like ViewaAskew said RLS is an equal opportunity disorder.
