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 folks. After suffering snd trying many hopeful remedies for years ive discovered a cooling/ freeze gel that you rub onto your legs. It gives a cooling effect and for me completly illiminates the rls sensations!! Total relief and a complete life changer. I hope this message reaches many people and has the same success ive had

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.

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
