@steeldove - I am so sorry for all the people, and their pain, I read about here. I do agree that for some of us the pain gets worse in the evening and night and that sticking to a schedule of meds helps... and the heating pad. Yesterday I made the mistake of having an MRI in late afternoon - should have taken the meds before - you can't lie still for an MRI of your lower back when the restless leg gets going. I love what @mlmcg says - "May your tomorrows be better than your todays".
