| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | I have been having very sharp, hot, tingling pain on both legs mainly in the back of them, almost like a nerve being cut off. The pain comes and goes. Mainly if i have been standing up for a while. I dont know what it is and its completley painful so much that i have to immediately sit down and elevate my legs. I am not overweight by anymeans; 116 lbs. |

| Discomfort: | Horrible cramps in my calves while trying to relax in bed, combined with what I believe to be RLS. I start getting uncomfortable once I've lain down, finally fall asleep, and then cramps when I move wake me up. Exercise CANNOT be the answer for me, as I am a BALLET DANCER and am still teaching/demonstrating, and taking class once a week, and riding my bike with my dog for about 15-30 minutes in the evenings.... |
| Treatment or advice: | So far, raising my legs for about 10 minutes, letting all the blood drain out of them, and then putting them down quickly is the only relief for the RLS. I can feel the blood throb back in...re: the cramps, the only think I can think to do is make an appointment for massage and a thing called PRESSOTHERAPY. They put these boots on you all the way up to your thighs, and then rythmically tighten them, kind of like having your blood pressure taken....I'm going to make an appointment this week. Its not cheap, tho, about 65$..... |

| 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 |
