No I'm not medicated. I never had an issue with it until after surgery.

When I had my sleep study the physician I talked to about my RLS said it often can be from nutrient deficiency. I would share it with your physician, they may want to do some labs.

I'm not alone! I had surgery on 3/20 and mine kicked in about a week later. It was so bad that I thought I may have had a blood clot and had to go in for labs and an ultrasound. I'll ask my doc in about 2 weeks at my 6 week appointment.

How funny. I literally just today had to have an ultrasound to rule out blood clots. What did the cause of yours end up being. I'm going for my 2 week post op and we are going to figure something out. I just can't sleep.< /p>

I don't think I have full on RLS (yet) but I have been experiencing jittery legs at night before I fall asleep post-surgery. What are the nutrients that could be lacking that might cause it? I read a post somewhere else on the Internet and one person mentioned taking Iron at night before bed.

That could be my problem. I was only taking 1 calcium pill in the AM & 1 in PM but I was supposed to be taking 2 in AM, midday & PM. I've upped it but still have restless legs. Maybe I've gotta give it more time.

Yes give it time. A few days you just continue to take it daily you will notice you will feel better.

Could be a few different things, dehydration, Calcium and Vitamin D according to the sleep doctor I saw are the most common. I started to take presc. strength Vit D pre op because mine was so low and it helped.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
