Restless legs

Not sure if this is RLS but would appreciate any input, suffer from hot and aching lower legs and feet, mainly at night, and find I need to keep stretching my calves and shins throughout the night....very restless sleep! Now I also have quite persistent knots in my right calf that the physio can't budge! I've had my blood circulation checked and seems good. Does not cramp or bother me riding.

Having read this thread, I am now trying Slow Mag but not much change in the last couple of days.

I would reccomend a doppler study to check for a DVT as a first step - need a good vascular guy for that.

 

Could of course be myofascial stress syndrome - injection of a local anaesthetic into the lump seems to have some benefit - as does rest -  BUT ELIMINATE THE DVT concern FIRST.

Had an ultrasound a while back for DVTs, nothing, but was thinking of going again anyway. Off to try an 'alternative' physio too. Do not notice much difference from taking SlowMag.
