Has anyone had to face the problem of restless legs or restless leg syndrome after doing LL?
The reason I'm asking this is, I've been stretching a lot off late to prepare for my LL surgery, but I notice that ever since I started stretching, I've been getting this tingling sensation in my legs (mostly my right) when I try to sleep at night.
I'm afraid because if this is happening when I stretch my legs for a minute or two per day, what could happen when they are permanently stretched 5-6 cms after LL? :O
LL veterans, please advise.
I have restless leg syndrome since before doing LL. Whenever I'm tired specially late afternoon/night, and also when I'm motionless for a lot of time, I feel an unconformable feeling (sometimes even a little painful feeling) in my legs which is difficult to explain (not exactly tingling) and only gets better after walking or moving my leg. During lengthening I completely forgot about restless leg because the tightness of the muscles required me to stretch a lot, even during the night I woke up at 3 AM to stretch. Only now, around 3 months after LL, is the restless leg syndrome getting back to me but with the same intensity as before. It hasn't worsen at all.
The tingling sensation, specially when it runs along a nerve distribution pattern indicates nerve involvement. Regarding that topic, when sitting for a lot of time in a hard surface or in certain positions, I experience tingling and electricity like sensation along the feet and leg (definitely sciatic nerve being compressed). This again has not worsen after LL for me.
However I cannot tell you it will be like that for you nor that it may get worse.
