Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain While Having Restless Leg Syndrome

my husband has severe pain in his legs that feels like it is in the muscle. sometimes right sometimes left leg. have gone to various doctors but none have given any diagonisis, tonite both legs and both arms are severe. nothing seems to stop the pain - walking does help some. it started out with just the legs and they called it restless leg syndrome - put him on Requip once a day. He is now up to about 4-5 a day because it is not just at nite anymore and hydrocodone. He is not sleeping but maybe a couple of hours at nite and up all day.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The pain in the legs is due to muscle contraction.

I recommend using painkillers such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend treating the RLS diagnosis through medication such as Mirapex which is a prescribed medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
