Is there anything that i can do to prevent/cure restless leg syndrome? it affects my legs and arms and is interfering with my sleep. thanks!

Restless legs: Rls may occur in tight muscles in the legs. Try stretching before going to bed. Muscle relaxants such as Ativan (lorazepam) or valium can be prescribed by your physician.

Yes, there is!: Sometimes 'restless leg' is triggered by an iron deficiency. Iron supplementation in women may be a good idea; for men, it risks iron overload which can get toxic. Your doctor could prescribe one of several effective medications. The more popular ones include: requip, (ropinirole) mirapex, Neurontin (gabapentin).

See below: If you are experiencing restless legs syndrome (rls) that is causing sleep disruption, please see a sleep medicine specialist to determine if it is truly RLS and to adequately treat it. Rls can affect the arms, but it is not as common as the legs. Until then, try to keep hydrated, do gentle leg stretches prior to bedtime, avoid caffeine, and try to regularize your bedtime. Hope that helps!
