Hi friend,

Are you sure it's RLS and not spasticity? RLS would make you kick in your sleep usually.

Spasticity feels like everything is tight and achy, and it can be (but is not always) accompanied by spasms (like Charlie Horse cramps). These are the kind of exercises I do for spasticity:

I also lay on my side and lift one leg up and down in a disciplined way. Sometimes I change it up by stopping 1/3 of the way down, then 2/3, then to the floor. I do as many as I can (5 - 10 is a sufficient start). I do both sides. (I do the same exercise while lying in my back.)

Sometimes I lay on my side, bend my leg so that the knee is pointing out, then lift the bent leg into the sky, close my leg, straighten it . . . and do that several times on each side.

I also do foot/ankle rolls, MANY times a day.

It may take a week or two to make a difference.

Here's some ideas for RLS (I don't get that, but my b/f does):
