Do you have these symptoms

Post by vinton »

I've had Multiple sclerosis for 35 years but sill in goos shape. My legs are bothering me and I'm trying to find out if it is RLS. Mu neuro says so but...

During the day my legs get tired easily and at night when I sit down from knees down it feels like the are in a cast.

not every day but when I go to bed after an hour I hae to get up my legs hurt like in the nerves.

Is it RLS?

It can be very different in how if feels for all of us and where we have it (it can be in any body part).

This is a link to the criteria. Really, only you can determine it. See what you think after reading them. Of all of them, a very critical one is that it is relieved by movement - even if only for a short period before it comes back. If moving makes it worse or does not do anything, it probably is not RLS. That said, some people who experience it as painful seem to have it more constantly.
