Yes, I started exercising my legs and stretching and that helped, so when I first was prescribed the Gabapentin at 400mg 4 years ago, I used it once. Then my Neurologist prescribed me Baclofen and Topiramate to help with my Migraines and the Baclofen which is a Muscle relaxant really helped with the RLS but it's been 3-4 years now and the restless leg syndrome has come back worse then ever. I continue to exercise and stretch but it still is very painful and now I have the Neuropathy in my fingers and toes. Does anyone have any advice?

Has your doctor checked your ferritin level recently? If it is below a certain threshold, then iron supplements are proven to be helpful in reducing restless leg syndrome. The threshold for efficacy is above the cutoff for iron deficiency. I took carbonyl iron because it is easier on the stomach and less likely to cause constipation.
