Restless legs syndrome

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

Got a patient with restless leg syndrome. Female 58 years of age, thin

rapid pulse, red tongue with a raw flesh appearance, thin yellowish

fur. Some hot flashes here and there. No medications.

 

It's not that her legs ceaselessly move at night, instead, she

describes it as a sensation of tightness on the tendons and muscles

of the lower leg which is alleviated by movement and stretching and at

times she need to get up and walk. Needless to say her sleep is no

good.

 

I've had other patients describe this syndrome in other ways such as

constant leg movement while sleeping. Any thoughts, articles,

research, or tips?

 

Thanks,
