Too much of it will make you go blind – or so you might have been told. But for some, masturbation might have a real clinical benefit: it can ease restless leg syndrome (RLS). The insight could provide sweet relief for the 7 to 10 per cent of people in the US and Europe who suffer from the condition. RLS is a distressing neurologic disorder characterised by an urge to move the legs. It is usually associated with unpleasant sensations in the lower limbs such as tingling, aching and itching.

I get restless third-leg syndrome.

Maybe you aren't getting enough potassium in your diet?

lol, bamski...you have no idea how funny that was....because my internet is so damn slow here; the image was loading little piece by little piece...and i was really scared of what was going to show up haha

pie, i have no idea; everything i've read about it shows more of not getting enough iron, nicht potassium. but then again, there isn't a whole lot of studies/knowledge about it in general.

stu, if you have restless third leg, then it could help out your other two actually.

Well are you SURE it's RLS and not just muscle cramps?

Yeah, pretty sure. I only get it when i'm lying down at night. usually before i start getting really tired. and it's not cramps, cause there's nothing to really massage out of it. it's just a weird jumpy/tingly sensation that if i try to control ends up being really bad spasm lol.

but i've never seen a DR or anything about it. but that article about getting off to help reduce the RLS gives me hope

One of my friends at school had this a while back; doctor told her to walk or exercise for 40 minutes a day inferring I do believe that it's caused by poor circulation.

I just called and woke her up to ask her if the walking helped so I could respond in this thread.

Haha, she told me to fuck off and hung up on me! I totally need to pay closer attention to the time when I call people.



But if it helps her, it seems what she does would kind of go hand and hand with Theresa's post and solution, I imagine. Stretching, walking, exercising...

I used to suffer from restless leg syndrome. Seriously. I'd have to get up out of bed, stretch, run in place, take a shower, do anything and everything i could to get my legs from feeling so restless. I have a perfect cure though. Get a yorkie. My little puppy sleeps on my legs now. Its just enough weight to keep em place and subdue the the restless legs.

They often treat RLS with Benzodiazepines or opioids
