Question 2

my lower back is hurting on my right side making me very restless. along with my neck and right shoulder. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Muscle pain: This could be a simple as muscle spasm. Muscle spasms can come from stress, or muscle strain from lifting heavy things or strenuous activity. Something that might relieve the pain of muscle strain or spasm are warm compresses, Epsom salt soaking baths, home stretching exercises, massage therapy, and over-the-counter pain relivers. However, if this pain does not resolve on its own, see your doctor.

Additionally exercise and reduction of caffeine late at night.

Question 7

could restless body syndrome be from using muscle relaxers?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: You need to see a neurologist about this. There are conditions that can cause the whole body to be restless and these are best evaluated by a neurologist specializing in movement disorders.It can be caused by medications, but i don't believe that the muscle relaxers are among them. I could be wrong, however, the main thing is that you get it treated for your own sanity. It sounds dreadful.Good luc.

Question 10

what exactly causes restless leg syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Still unknown fully: It has something to do with iron and Dopamine metabolism but the links are not clear yet.Given the similar circadian rhythms of serum iron levels, the proteins involved in Dopamine transmission, and RLS symptoms, it is difficult not to hypothesize a connection. In fact, iron is a cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme for Dopamine synthesis.
