Yes, Restless Leg Syndrome is a beast ! I have had it for years. I find that a warm "rice bag" (just buy the long cooking kind of rice, but it in an old sock, or use 2 washcloths sewn up and heat it in the microwave), almost always stops mine. I think it is both the weight from the one I use (we have made them in every size imaginable) and the warmth, plus I think it sorta tells my brain not to move my legs cause it will knock the rice bag off.

I have had tunnel ulner (not sure of spelling) syndrome, and slept in a specially formed medium hard gadget they made for me. Within a few months all numbness in my pinkie and ring finger were gone. (The other fingers did not get numb).

Sounds like you have a great Doctor ! Glad she gave you a good check up as well as showed compassion and concern !
