Do you ever just want to pound on your legs?
Do you ever just want to pound on your legs?
Sometimes, after the nth time of being jerked out of a light sleep, I really want to beat up on my legs. I don't usually, but last night I did start hitting them in frustration.

Absolutely...... I knead my legs, rub them, pinch them, massage them, use my knuckles to hammer them, and punch them.
But they don't listen

Exactly, that's why I call mine "stupid legs".

My whole family DOES beat on them! It's kind of funny to see several of us all beating on our thighs at the same time .
I usually do it in the evening when I am relaxing and I just do NOT want to get active and walk around. t night in bed, I do it sometimes, but am more likely to do various leg exercises.

I often use my fist to pound on my lower legs, usually along the shin. Its good to know I'm not the only one!
Re: Do you ever just want to pound on your legs?
I pound my arms to knock the RLS out. Then my wife and I were at a party and we started doing the old Jackie Gleason bit about "knocking her to the moon." Then a lady spotted my very bruised arm and put 2 and 2 together and got 5. She called the local police thinking I was being abused by my wife!
After getting a good chuckle out of being interviewed, we did invite her over and thanked her for her concern. Simply put....that shows you how much I hit my arms in frustration.

That is one of the more humorous RLS stories that I have heard in quite a while, although I suspect that being interviewed by the police may not have been very funny when it was happening.

Abso*****lutely! I have RLS in my left side/arm, and I hammer away (doesn't help). I would cut my arm off, but then I'd probably get "phantom" RLS!!?
