Helen of Troy asked:
seriously i can’t sit still,i feel like i need to walk or go to the gym or something but i can’t because i’m stuck inside babysitting and it’s raining out and we don’t have a treadmill or any kind of work out machine and if i don’t do something, i’m going to go crazy.
Could I have restless leg syndrome or do I just need something to do?Am I the only one like this??
well, at night, i feel like i have ants crawling all over my legs but i’ll look and nothing’s there. and right now, i feel like i need to shake my legs or walk around just to stay calm cuz i’m going nuts here!!!
but this isn’t the only time this has happened.whenever i’m in a car, i have to rattle my leg or i’ll have someone pull over just so i can get out.

Maybe. You weren’t very descriptive. I think I have restless leg. It is like a panic attack in my leg and I have to keep it moving or I will have a panic attack. Try walking back and forth, stretching your leg, bending it, and moist heat.

You do not have restless leg syndrome, you need something to do. Try jumping jacks, push ups, remember there was a time when people exercised without special equipment.

its a common thing to have,but some people have it more severe than others and have to take daily medication to keep it under control.

Yes, and no. You daytime problem is you are bored and need to exercise. The nighttime symptoms are that of restless leg syndrome.
