What Causes Twitching Sensation In The Legs While On Requip?
I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome several years ago due to my symptons of walking in the bed uncontrollably. My doctor prescribed Requip 3mg at night. About 2 months ago, the leg twitches started occurring every afternoon. The twitches are uncontrollable and they are like seizures between my knees and ankles. I am scheduled for an EMG/NCS procedure of my lower extremities. I understand the procedure, but my question is, how painful is this procedure? I have a very low tolerance for pain. Can they give me anything to relax me? Thank you for taking the time to provide your expert advice.
emg or ncs is not a very painful procedure. It's done with electrodes. Its a relatively short procedure. procedure is quite painless. Don't be afraid and go through tests. Before you know they will be over
