| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | The urge to constantly move my legs. I believe I'm having restless leg syndrome that developed early in the pregnancy and hasn't ceased yet. Its horrible late in the evening and just gets worse through the night as I try to sleep. Not cramps, just the horrible urge to keep moving them, I can't sit still and watch tv. Nothing relieves the urges. I have them all day, and it just gets worse. |
| Treatment or advice: | My Dr. told me to get more excercise. This only makes it even worse!! I try all kinds of stretching muscles, yoga, walking......none of it helps. Its horrible, not pain.....but do you know how it feels to be unable to actually sit still for 10 seconds?? |

| Discomfort: | it is like a permanent charlie horse in both my claves that dont go away |
| Treatment or advice: | i have tried RubA535 to try to relieve the pain but i only helps for 10 minutes. I also tried soaking my legs in a hot bath but that only works for so long. I tried eating bananas and milk but nothing. It eventually just went away a week later. I kept my feet up and also did some stretching |

| Discomfort: | Muscle cramping and pulling. Can't walk sometimes. Pain is very intense and makes me feel like I'll fall if I don't sit when I get it, sometimes it's persistent for days at a time |
