restless legs syndrome
"I got Restless Leg Syndrome and severe lower back pain due to a horrific car accident. Tramodol made me sick so I had to stop. I have tried all the medicines you can think off, even the ones for epilepsy and anti-seizure drugs. The only thing that gives me relief from the RLS and chronic back pain is slow release morphine. Have now been on it since 1991. If people and doctors knew what living with the RLS and chronic pain is like, they would never doubt or disbelieve you again. Imagine not being able to sit or sleep or lie still anywhere or anytime, forget sleeping at nite, until you are just so physically exhausted and drained from having to move your legs constantly 24hrs a day. It's awful."
