Restless Legs Anyone

Hi
I do get RLS but I am not sure if it worsk the same for everyone because I only seem to get it when I am sitting down on the sofa. If I go to bed, which I have to do to ease the discomfort, the RLS eases up. From what I can see, that's not the case for many people.
I'm not sure what to suggest but I do hope the RLS eases up soon. Sending good vibes your way.

Lyrica has calmed my RLS

I was suffering from restless legs since 10 years + my AS symptoms , I have try everything but it seems magnesium supplements help me alot before sleeping adding to that cutting Tea and coffee . please dont consider this as medical advice it was my personal experiment .

Hey !

I have struggled with restless legs since the very beginning of my AS journey. It's interesting you mention exercise, because that triggers mine as well. Here's the catch with me though. I also have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and most recently found out I have severe reflux of both great saphenous veins in my legs. Nobody really knows what to attribute my leg symptoms to at this point because every diagnosis I have is from the pelvis down. So not only do I have RLS, but I also have painful, swollen, heavy legs.

I'm not a medical professional, but maybe you could try compression socks? I have to wear them for my veins, but I have some close friends that wear them who have AS just because they like the feel of the squeeze. I don't know if it helps with RLS, but mine has improved some since wearing them! Hopefully you'll get some more helpful feedback here!
