| Can RLS cause severe constant pain??
Help please,
My husband is suffering from something that even the doctors have been unable to diagnose up until this point. It started about 2 years ago with what appeared to by RLS, with mild pain assosciated. Now it has progressed to being constant cramping pain in both of his arms and legs. He describes it as "Charlie Horse" pain. His current Dr. is not looking at it as being RLS. His various muscles frequently twitch, and sometimes it seems that all the muscles in both of his arms and legs are twitching. He is currently taking narcotic pain meds, sleeping pills and antidepressants, to combat the effects of his condition. It seems to be worse as he's falling asleep at night, and he often kicks and thrashes around, and yells out in pain (although he doesn't know that he's doing this because of the sleeping pills). He is 30-years-old, and is very active and in great physical condition. Has anyone experienced anything like this, and was there anything to be done about it? He can't continue taking the levels of pain meds and sleeping pills that he is currently on. We've got to find a better answer that will allow him to live the (hopefully long) rest of his life without constant pain. Please help us.
