I have searched for any thread on this and only saw several mentions in the thread about Morgan's short leg. Does anyone have any remedies for my legs that are constantly feeling creepy? The perfect way for me to describe it is my legs feel anxious. I know that that sounds stupid but that is how it feels. My doc said I should just take benadryl. Okay, that is all well and good but I cannot stay awake when I take benadryl! So, any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

This makes me laugh! Oh, my poor short leg.

The RLS medication has weird & funny side effects (increased gambling/ sexual addiction). For me, my legs only get that restless feeling when I'm really tired or have been sitting too long. Do you have to sit a lot at work? Maybe you could get up & walk around once an hour. Do your legs feel like this all the time?

It was a functional short leg. My hips are not lined up. I'm doing physical therapy to strengthen my hips & I learned some good stretches. I lift weights and work the large leg muscles, but these supporting muscles are weak. So now I'm working out with resistance bands which gives the little muscles a turn.

It probably is all the standing that gives you such bad RLS. Could different shoes help? I've seen some doctors & nurses in crazy shoes they say help them stand all day.

Oh the other thing I need to do is get some really good arch supports. I haven't done it yet.

i prob should change shoes. Right now I wear crocs which are comfy but prob not supportive.

 

i am glad that your leg is feeling better. i have that happen every so often and my chiropractor realigns me. I really notice it if I am doing a lot of walking, like when we were in Paris, then my hips were killing me!

maybe some clogs or really good walking shoes w/ support. How about compression stockings and/or inserts?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
