aching muscles, restless legs, aching joints
By Becky Longshore from Oneonta, Alabama on August 25, 2005 in Muscular Dystrophies
I have been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and I have recently began taking Requip. This medicine does help some at night, but I am more worried about the way I feel during the day. These symptoms only began a couple of months ago. I wake up with stiff joints and aching muscles, especially in the arms and legs. Sometimes I feel like I can't hardly take a step. My doctor checked my enzyme level to see if I have arthritis and he said that the enzyme level is normal. But I know there I have symptoms that I didn't have in the past. When the symptoms began, it felt like someone had take a bat and beat me on the arms and legs. I also have pain in the area around my ankles. I am a 49-year old elementary teacher, so I don't lift a lot of heavy things. Today is August 25th and I am aching in the tops of my legs and arms. Please send any suggestions. Thank you, Becky Longshore |
