hi,

as you mentioned that your husband is suffering from restless leg. What I would recommend is along with medication why don't you try for the physical therapy. As a combination of both the improved metabolism and drug absorption by the cells helps.

I usually take a combination of medication and exercise for my patients. It has worked well. I Advice hiu to try out the same. You can even discuss the same with your current physician for the combination therapy.

with the grace of God I wish your husband a speedy recovery
