Suggest treatment muscle tightness in legs and arms
Patient: I have muscle tightness and restlessness in my legs and arms (no pain) on a daily basis and at night also. I have a problem getting to sleep or continue to wake up and am sometimes up until 4 a.m. I keep wanting to rub them. I m 77 and I do walk 45 minutes to 1 hour a day. I am already on a prescription of Tramadol 50 mg (one to two pills at night) to help relieve the tension and help in sleeping. It s really getting to me. My current physician did not prescribe anything. Doctor: Dear Sir/Madam,I thank you for having faith in Health Care magic and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, if you do not have pain then discontinue tramadol it does not relax your muscles, I would recommend you to take bath before going to bedtake a mild sedative drug after prescription get your Vit D and Cal level done and take supplements if lowtake Vit E 500mg daily for 2 week and then stop.discuss this with your GP before following and learn to Relax.I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.Special note-  Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.ThanksDr. Narender Saini
