OK. Educated.
I am sitting at my computer right now bunching my legs because it is starting. Trust me , it is real. It's not just restless legs, my legs actually hurt. I also take a parkinson med. for it at night but it's starting to start earlier in the evening now. I have to talk to my Dr. It's one of those clubs you don't want to be a member of.
My grandson is like his mom who grows so fast that he gets growing pains; especially at night. A few years ago I was introduced to Arnical Gel and you can get the pills too for buising and as I researched it I found out that the atheletes use it for aches and pains and this is what I use on his legs and it really helps. I recently dropped a heavy piece of furniture on my toes (all of them on one foot) none were broken but doc said that since I have osteoporsis that it will take a long time to heal; the arnica gel really helps. I get it from the health food store and I like not having to take pills as much.
