I have constant pain in lower legs, unable to set still or get comfortable.?

Question:

I can't sleep because, It's been going on for months. My Dr has been no help thinks it's a vitamin dificency but don't know which one. I can't watch tv, walk, sit, down lie down or ride a bik. It is ruing my life, probably not RLS. I take Magnesiun, melatonin, temazepam and just started topomax 3 days ago. Nothing hel no heat, walking makes it worse, icy hot not helping.

Answers:
You are right it doesn't sound like RLS at all. But it does sound Neurological to me. I would ask your doc to refer you for a check up at a Neurologist. Sounds like one or some of the nerves in your lower lumbar region are compromised.

get a second opinion from another doctor - did they take any blood tests or anything?

go the the doctors that specalise in legs and other extremidies. and go to webmd (www.webmd.com) and search you symptoms.

do you have any varicose veins? sometimes those cause a lot of pain.

Have your doctor check you out for "Restless Leg Syndrome". If he cannot come up with anything, change doctors.

Before you make an appointment at a clinic, go to Google website and type into the SEARCH box: Restless leg syndrome. I am confident that you will get tons of websites to read up on this problem.then make your appointment.
Now you are an informed patient who might get better answers to your questions.

Good luck and I hope the doc can help you.

It could be peripheral vascular disease, and the walking making it worse could be because of claudication. Have you ever had blood circulation problems?
