I am having pretty severe leg pain thatm a nurse friend has suggested may be related to varicose vein problems. sharp pain intermittent back of right thigh, painful swelling there, and some activity in left leg too for past few weeks. I have had RLS for many years, Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain? Am taking 6mg requip for the RLS and 10mg oxycodone, 100mh gabapentin for fibromyalgia. am also diabetic on metfvormin.
