To relieve my restless legs (some 7 hours later), I applied some fibromyalgia serum + ice gel and took to Advil pain tablets and was finally able to go to sleep. What this extreme onset of my RLS during the day (which is uncommon for me) made me think of was peripheral nerve damage as a result of the liquid nitrogen applications; seeing your not regarding peripheral neuropathy makes me wonder about any ongoing research that may be underway correlating 'pn' and 'rls'; does anyone know of any?

Normally I find that I only get restless legs (left leg only for me) during the night after having been asleep for about 1 hour and having had sweets (especially chocolate) after 6:00 p.m. that same evening --- I am a firm believer that sugar and RLS don't mix and I know, for me, if I indulge in sweets in the evening I have to be prepared to fight with a restless leg until about 6:30 a.m. the following morning.
