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.

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.

Love Sona conflating correlation with causation.

[@abjoju]

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.

[@emu_warrior]

Yes Matt, please listen to Doctor Ab Joju

[@desiderata2209]

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.

[@mvcybron]

For me, walking for few minutes helps sometimes. but not always. when it gets bad, its just horrible for me. Maybe I should get my kidneys and iron checked out. thanks for your comment.

My partner had restless legs. His was due to malabsorption of magnesium as a result of undiagnosed Crohn's disease. When he got better, the restless legs mostly went away. Back in the day, his restless legs drove me MAD when I had a newborn. Would just be drifting off to sleep and Bojangles would visit and wake me up.

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.

[@frolickinglions]

Always love it when Sona and Matt turn on each other.. they're so lost when they do😅

[@Fucisko]

I did not expect to hear about restless leg syndrome here. For me it's not pins and needles but more like spasms or jerks, or like Matt said after more like a sensation where I need to move my legs. I used to take magnesium that helped when I was a kid but eventually stopped helping so now I have actual medication (Madopar) for it from a neurologist. Unmedicated it can be an absolute torture, used to take hours for me to fall asleep because of it.

[@yvonnegougelet1204]

Have you been tested for PLMS? Periodic Leg Movement disorder. I have both RLS and PLMS and PLMS is what causes the jerks for me. Wakes me up. Ant die effects of your meds? I'll look into it. I've found high grade CDB oil helps RLS. It helps with seizures so it helped me.

[@Fucisko]

​@@yvonnegougelet1204 Can't say I have, didn't even know there's multiple of these. The medication I have is for Parkinsons and RLS, and it's quite effective and helps me a ton so I assume that's what it is. The jerks don't really wake me up usually, my biggest problem is falling asleep, but I have been told by several people over the years that I do kick quite a lot when I'm sleeping.

Hey Conan and Sona, Aussie doctor and big fan here; 'neurological' doesn't equal non-diagnosable nor does it mean psychogenic/functional. It means a disorder orginates from the central or peripheral nervous systems. For example, a stroke is a neurological disorder.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

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.
