Restless Leg Syndrome

This may be a strange question, but if anyone suffered from restless leg syndrome Pre-op did it get worse post-op? It has gotten bad for me and it makes it almost impossible to sleep!

      Has there been anyone who's had this occur after surgery? Sometimes I can't sleep because I cannot get my legs comfortable enough to be still. I didn't have any problems with this before surgery.

    It made the difference right away...This med is used to help people with Parkinson's but is also used for this problem...

    I never slept for 4 nights in a row and it was affecting my recovery.....This worked...

    I have to take it for 6 months as the Dr. feels it will ease up after that...I am enjoying the time with out that horrible feeling in my legs....

    I have had it for awhile and I take Ropinirole, luckily it hadn't got worse since after surgery but the med is horrible on your stomach after surgery.

    I've been taking pramipexole also and it works great with no side effects. Forgot one night post-surgery, and it was awful. Definitely ask your Dr.
