Localized Approaches to Dealing with RLS
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 9:33 pm
I usually find relief from a tingling foot by applying an ice pack for 30 seconds. My doctor does not know how or why it works, other than to say the coldness may shock nerve endings.
Similarly, I wonder if a local patch that delivers a numbing agent might work? Does anyone have any information about research into this and other localized approaches?
Also, I recently read a paper,"Foot Wrap Offers Alternative to Medication for Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome." (Published: June 28, 2016 by the American Osteopathic Association.) May be worth a try. Does anyone know where such a wrap can be purchased?
