I have herniated dicks in L4,5 L5, S1,for a week now my right leg calf and sciatica area have been twitching burning and painful. I get about 30 min sleep within every three hrs. I have tried requip? 3mg, 1mg lorazepam Advil voltaren gel. Elevating legs n magnesium. Nothing is helping. Pain is not starting when I walk n drive. I don t think it s RLS. Any suggestions.
