Restless Legs - driving me nuts!
I know in the scheme of things this is not a biggy but since I had my mastectomy on December 18 I have had what they call 'restless legs' when I go to bed and it keeps me awake for hours. Just when I think I can nod off to sleep it starts up again. So lack of sleep is becoming a bit of a problem.! I have never had this problem before so I am assumming it is related to my surgery .......Is there anyone out there who has had this problem and what solutions have you found?

I have suffered from restless legs for many many years. When I had my FEC chemo they stopped, now on Docetaxol they are back with a vengeance. Every night I am up stretching and stretching them, in the hope of falling asleep and staying asleep. They drive me insane too,

Good to hear that the panadol worked for you. My oncologist assured me that the two I take are perfectly safe and won't lead to any liver or kidney issues. The restful sleep is the most important thing to help recovery. Onc has also said that no one knows what causes the muscle spasms and leg pain and it is trial and error to find a way of managing it.
Good luck for Wednesday.
