I think I was having the leg issue after years of taking it! I could not say for sure. Maybe It's long term where some have issues. Large doses @ 1200 mg. was needed for my needs at the time. I think drugs work and do their magic, and can stop after a while. Makes sense that pain will return when a drugs stops working. It really is a vicious cycle, but timing is everything. 🙂
