Developing RLS After a Back Injury

Post by WR Nightwalker »

Has anyone developed RLS after a back injury which caused severe sciatica? My RLS is much worse in the leg which was affected by my injury.

Members have commented before about RLS being triggered by back problems/surgery.
If you do a search for 'RLS back problems' you will see a lot of posts. Unfortunately there is no easy way but to trawl through them.

Yup - lots of anecdotal complaints of that happening - back injury, back surgery, etc.
