RLS / GUT, OTHER THOUGHTS
Why why why and how long is it going to take for science to have an answer? Such a mystery!!!
So many possibilities of what causes RLS.
Here's mine.
I have serious pondered the toe nerves and going up into the legs.
Could it possibly be any thing to do with damaged nerves from wearing I'll fitting shoes? I know for me, being female and loving shoes and fashion growing up I didn't care at all if my cute shoes hurt my feet, crushed my toes, made blisters,etc. Long as they looked good.
I can stretch my toes and it hurts, bad!
Also, I ran across a lady who was put in a funny shoe for RLS.
The heels were pumped up with wires, gave a bounce to the step.She swore by them.
Haven't ever seen or even heard of anything like that since.
Anyone else?
I don't know if we will ever have a for sure answer as to what causes RLS, especially because there seems to be more than one cause. For some, it has to do with genetics. This is an example of Primary RLS. Then there is Secondary RLS, when it's caused by some other health condition. There is this article here, which better explains the differences https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/causes
In your case, if your RLS is caused by nerve damage, that would be Secondary RLS. Nerve damage can cause RLS https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/restless-legs-syndrome But that doesn't necessarily mean that is for sure what caused your RLS.
Sorry if that isn't much help.
