Hydrocortisone for RLS

Post by Ramunas »

I read that some sufferers are helped by low dose hydrocortisone injections.
Has anyone tried this?
If so, in what part of the leg was the injection admninistered, and what potency?

I have never heard of anyone on this forum using it. There was a study in Germany in 2008: there is a link here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1922&p=39839&hilit=hydrocortisone#p39839

That's the only time I've heard of it. Maybe the study can provide some more information.
