Driving

Doing holiday shopping, going to visit family and all of the driving that goes along with the holidays aggravate my RLS. At the end of the day and I am trying to relax, if I don't have an Ice pack on my lower back, legs elevated and a TENs unit on, I am in misery. Yes I take medication but it is worthless on its own.

  1. It's good to hear that a TENS machine does seem to help you after a long day. Did you try a lot of other management strategies before you got the machine? I can sympathize with the struggles of being folded up in a car all day. I hope you had a nice holiday season and enjoyed your time with family, despite the discomfort to get it all done. -Melissa, team member

    1. How frustrating, . I wish the holidays could be less stressful and more relaxing for you. Are there things you can do next year that might make it easier, like ordering online or persuading family to come to you? I hope you find some relief soon. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
