Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think in order to relieve symptoms of restless legs you can massage them daily an use warm or cold compresses on them.
You can talk to your doctor to start dopaminergic drugs such Mirapex or Requip.
Taking count that symptoms are more prominent at night using benzodiazepines such diazepam or lorazepam before bed can help you have a good sleep and not to feel symptoms much during night.
We recommend also narcotics usage such oxycodone for patients in pain.
In our clinic we often use lyrica ( anticonvulsant drug) to ease restless legs symptoms.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
