“Needle legs” and “go rub your back on the wall.” Sona coming up with some real Gourley-esque insults.

[@RehanFarooq]

I had similar condtion as Matt Gourley, and my aunt who was an expert doctor, asked me to change my shoes. I started using comfortable shoes and the condition was fixed. The problem was with my nerves in the foot were getting pressed all day while I wore the shoes and at night the nerves started relaxing with pulses. The solutions is worth trying.

[@jissanhuq3792]

That's interesting. My mom used to deal with it in her forties and fifties. She's seventy now, but I don't think it's been ailing her for years.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Hmm Gourley does wear some ridiculous and ugly men’s shoes 🤔

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

For me the cause was slipped discs. Basically the discs if they're slipped/bulging can limit/block blood flow to your legs, leading to that pins-and-needles feeling similar to when your legs are falling asleep. My solution was just to fix my posture and stay away from lifting/moving heavy objects. Usually I'd know if my back was getting out-of-whack merely by my RLS acting up and I knew I was doing something to aggravate it.

HEY MATT, restless leg is a syndrome that COULD be caused by iron deficiency or a bad kidney. A lot of the times it's just idiopathic (came out of nowhere for no reason). Medications like pramipexole are your typical first line treatments.

Yes Matt, please listen to Doctor Ab Joju

Just move your leg, that's what RLS is all about anyway. Annoying but prescriptions will invariably sink your liver and kidneys and cause a bunch of other side effects.

Restless leg feels like a static charge that builds up in the legs and you have to move to stretch them out to get rid of it, then it builds up every few seconds, fun.

My mom has restless leg syndrome all her life and what helps is having some potassium before bed. So a banana, dates, or just straight up potassium pills. But careful, shouldn't have too much potassium on a daily basis. She also has this thing with if someone touches her shoulder, whether it be a gentle tap or a hard grab, she feels like 'a million ants crawling down her shoulder.' I've seen her shutter at a simple touch on the shoulder.

Gorelys problem is easy to fix. 1. Iron supplementation. It's usually caused by an iron deficiency, rare in men, but still. 2. He needs to exercise his legs. Squats, lunges, leg extensions, hamstring curls. This is what cured mine, if your leg muscles have been adequately stimulated, they are never sore or restless. You sleep like a baby, and your legs WANT to be still.

[@StormgateNexus]

I'm not a medical doctor, but I've had this exact symptom before (among other nerve-related discomforts) that you have Matt. The pins and needles may be caused by tightness in low back, usually from excessive sitting and poor posture, which can cause pressure on the nerves innervating to the spine. It could be related to a spine disc too (these can wear out with age), but a neurologist may have already given you an EMG, and found nothing, which might suggest muscle tightness instead. There are physical therapy exercises for the low back/hip (e.g., pelvic bridges) and stretches (e.g., pigeon pose) you can do daily to try to ameliorate the symptoms. Magnesium can also help relax muscles if you're experiencing spasms. Certain diets (e.g., Keto) can increase the risk of developing restless leg syndrome, too. Also, an EMG showing nothing doesn't mean something isn't wrong. My mom (mid-50s) had an EMG that showed nothing, despite having peripheral nephropathy symptoms. She had years of trying to get a proper diagnosis, before the issue was pinpointed to C4-C5 in the spine, and surgery relieved her of these symptoms. My EMG also showed nothing, but I have had peripheral nephropathy for 2 years. I used to have restless leg syndrome too, but that went away after maybe 6 months or so. I think from changing from Keto diet, regular PT exercises, and hydration were factors. Also cutting coffee and less alcohol. Best of luck, love the show!

Restless Leg Syndrome can have common physical causes. Mine was connected to my lower back. I've had slipped discs multiple times in my lower back, and whenever I would aggravate my lower back my RLS would act up. Basically had to fix my posture and be careful about moving/lifting heavy things, but I rarely suffer from RLS anymore. You can take medicine for it too. I have Ropinirole and it helps as long as the RLS isn't too severe.
