Guest guest Posted January 20, 1999 Report Share Posted January 20, 1999 Yo LindLee, You mentioned your Mom is experiencing RLS due to a trauma-induced incident. Can you elaborate? I keep all trauma-related correspondence and would like understand the nature of the trauma. That is of course, if you want to. Email if you would so inclined. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 1999 Report Share Posted January 23, 1999 Yo , Take heart. Trauma-related RLS seems to be stronger than the genetic type ( Always exceptions) and can be hard to tackle at first. Does your mom get it in the arms also? Most trauma-related RLS includes the arms ( my findings maybe such a report exists), especially if the operation or injury occurs the neck or head. Neurontin will take about a week to do its job. The combo of Vicodin will hopefully make her comfortable. Let me know if her upper extremities or torso have RLS. Watch out for PLMS also, she most likely will experience that is she has RLS already. Much love and luck to you and especially your mother during her healing process. Ed-Cyberphilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
