Discovered a new treatment for my restless leg syndrome
I have found that using my prescription strength Lidocaine patches on my outer thighs of my leg an hour before going to bed will eliminate my restless legs been doing it for at least 2 years works every time
Hi! I tried lidocaine spray on my legs and that seemed to work for me also but it didn't give me relief for the whole night. I take medication now but I wish there was something that would work without being bound to a medication for life. Glad you found relief!
Take care.
I wonder if a lidocaine cream or gel would work better. I'm no expert, but it seems like those other forms sink deeper into the skin. I could be completely wrong, though. What do you think? -Melissa, team member Unlikely, the 5% prescription patches work the best. the creams will not last as long and they're just not as strong
I've tried hundreds of things to work on restless legs. but I had extra patches so I just gave it a shot.
About 9 hrs of relief
The other patches just don't work as well.
That's great,
. I hope Lidocaine is always effective for you. It must great to know you'll have relief for that stretch of time. Enjoy the weekend! - Lori (Team Member) This is great! How did you get the idea to try this? Was it just a hunch or did you read about it somewhere? -Melissa, team member
How awesome that you found something that helps,
. Thanks for sharing this with the community. Are you able to sleep through the night or at least get a chunk of good sleep? Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
