I have rls that used to be controlled by medicines. since my hip surgery, it has come back. for the past 2 months, the medicines haven't been working and i am very sleep deprived. what should i do?

RLS: need med chang?: You should see your prescribing doc for either a med increase or a med change and to rule out lack of total body iron supplies with a simple blood test called a ferritin level. Best of luck to you. I personally know how agonizing this condition can be. I am grateful for treatment.

RLS: Go to rls.Org many help options available but treating physician should have experience with RLS management. Usually sleep specialist and neurologist are more familiar.

Many options: Rls meds are many and if pramipexole, or ropirnorole are ineffectual, a Neupro (rotigotine) patch might be useful. Yet, you may have an additional sleep disorder problem such as sleep apnea, and best to get all of this reassessed.
