Restless leg syndrome after surgery?

[fireyangel76]

Rob,
I get the shoulder twitch sometimes. I normally have it to my waist, but on occasion it goes to my shoulders and arms and makes me crazy. I am not sure what activity I have or haven't done to cause it to go that high. I know that I don't get it as bad as time has passes since my surgery. I have even gone without the requip some nights. Luckily it works within 30 mins or so if I need to get up and take it. I am getting by with 0.5 mg. The only side effect I have is nausea and dizziness if I go up to 1 mg. I know RLS drugs are getting some bad press, but I am so glad to have something to relieve it.

I am curious as to when and what position you get it the worst in? I also find it strange that I can get relief on my side sometimes....really makes me think it's a back thing.
