leg cramps

[Guest guest]

Dear Juli and Lynn, everyone

Some people have different sensations with RLS and depending on how it feels,

then we use

the word that best describes it. I personally usually describe it as " electrical

wave " because that's

what it feels like to me.

My earlier post was meant to say that OTHER THAN the twitching and restlessness

and the jerking

my legs & arms do day & night, I ALSO get the good old fashion leg cramp were

it fully contracts

and only with a good, long hard stretch does it go away. Usually my muscle is

sore the next day.

Then ususally the leg & arms kick in their own 2 cents & on these nights, I

might as well be in hell.

I don't associate this type of cramp as RLS, personally, because I do some

weight resistance training

and on the days that I don't do proper stretches before and after workout is

when I get cramps.

My legs are restless all the time and I only wished one good long hard stretch

would make it go away.

p.s. if I use capital letters, it is because I don't have a way to use italics

or a bold option to hi-lite a

point.

Thanks for your support and responses to my endless inquiries.
