Members connected over the relatable and frustrating experience of feet and leg discomfort at night, sharing that restless legs, electric sensations, and aching arches are common struggles. Several members offered helpful remedies including magnesium lotion applied to the feet with socks, compression stockings, prescription options like Gabapentin and Mirapex, and CBD as a way to ease restless legs. A recurring theme was the encouragement to speak with a doctor to find the root cause, while leaning on the community for support and shared relief strategies.

Hi- KindraLee,
Definitely ask your doctor. Are your feet hot or cold? Sometimes my feet think they are hot and are feeling around for cool places in the sheets. If my feet are cold and are cold to my fingers, I heat the sheets and socks with a rubber hot water bottle. Eventually I put on the warmed socks. The hot water bottle may stay at my feet. Sometimes I keep it near my stomach and chest. If you haven’t already, ask your question in a search engine.
Maybe it’s not MS.

Yes but mine is painful and am prescribed Gabapentin to take due to mine being MS related. My sister has restless leg syndrome and is prescribed something for that specifically. I would definitely speak with your doctor about what it might be caused by and the best way to get relief from it. Hope this helps

My feet bother me every night. I rub magnesium lotion/paste on them almost every night and put socks over them.

It sounds like you may need a anti-anxiety med for the feet. The doctor should be able to help with tnat.

Best,

Danny 😎🙏
