We’ll check into the Flexeril. We’ve tried all of the approved medications…& ended up with augmentation on the dopamine agonists. Calm Magnesium supplement seemed to help for a while. Ferritin/iron infusion brought his ferritin levels into the range ‘recommended’ by the RLS Foundation. Tonic water, Irish Springs at the foot of the bed….. Flexeril is something to pursue.

God Bless You both. I hope he gets relief soon. The pickle juice sounds far fetched, but, you never know. I have had leg cramps before and got up and eaten a plain tablespoon of mustard and the cramps went away. Sometimes the home remedies do work. IF his legs hurt, have you tried the Voltaren gel? Its wonderful for pain and is over the counter now. Ask doctor before he tries it.

My doctor prescribed pramipexole 0.5mg. It's no cure, but
does ease the pain of RLS. especially when trying to sleep.
