A U.S. hospital, the Mayo Clinic, recommends ways to help quiet restless legs, including taking non-prescription painkillers and soaking in a warm bath. The Mayo Health Letter also advises sufferers to:
--massage the legs;
--learn to relax, especially before bed because stress can aggravate the symptoms;
--stretch your legs at the beginning and end of the day;
--try heat or cold packs or alternate between the two;
--get regular exercise but avoid overdoing it or working out late in the day;
--cut back on caffeine, alcohol and tobacco, all of which may aggravate or trigger symptoms;
--go to bed later because adjusting to a later bedtime can help relieve symptoms;
--stay busy until bedtime because boredom or drowsiness before bed may worsen symptoms.
Restless legs syndrome, a sleep disorder, brings on feelings of a creeping, crawling, jittery, tingling, burning or aching feeling in the calves, thighs, feet or, less frequently, arms. If nothing seems to work, see your doctor, who can prescribe medication for managing the
symptoms.
To remove calluses Try soaking your feet in a combination of white vinegar and warm water nightly and watch your feet soften noticeably.
