Oddly enough, though I've been Dx with PN of unknown cause, I've noticed over the past couple of weeks or so that I'm now having pain in my feet and lower legs (calves area). A deep, achy pain that doesn't seem much helped even by prescription strength (800mg) Ibuprofen. I'll have to see what I can find about this. This pain becomes worse if I'm on my feet for any length of time. If I rest my feet and legs, that is; stay off my feet, that pain eases but the PN pain worsens. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

ETA: This makes me wonder if what I thought was RLS really isn't? The symptoms I experience are an involuntary sort or twitching in my feet and legs. Movement seems to relief this. I'm having a difficult time describing what it feels like... A need to clench the muscles involved. Not necessarily moving my feet or legs. What was the first symptom(s) you noticed? I'm trying to remember in what order my symptoms have come on.. Started with what I didn't know was probably RLS and an inability to lay on my hips cause my feet would go painfully numb. Regular mattress is out. Had a waterbed for years and that seemed to do the trick. Have a special mattress now that works, also. Then about 2 or 3 years ago I noticed a tingling sensation in my feet as if they were falling asleep. That's gotten worse as time has gone on until beginning the B- vitamins.
