Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sleep killer. It can prevent you from getting to sleep and it can disturb you while you're sleeping. The effects of RLS are brutal. WebMD notes that the severity of RLS symptoms ranges from mild to intolerable. People with RLS don't get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep they do get is substandard. There are numerous medications, home remedies, and exercises to help alleviate the symptoms from RLS. A quick internet search will leave you with more ideas than you have time to try. But surf the web and one result will keep popping up: Restless Legs Syndrome and Compression Socks.
People with RLS are having some success with compression socks. The National Center for Biotechnology Information says compression socks act as a "counter stimuli to sensory symptoms," and many people say the pressure from the compressions socks help do away with the tingling feeling that makes you want to move your legs. Imagine the person sitting at work or in school repeatedly bouncing their leg up and down. When they put both feet firmly on the floor with a bit of pressure or weight, the legs stop their twitching. The process seems to be similar with Restless Legs Syndrome and Compression Socks.
Compression socks also help with varicose veins, which is said to be one of the causes of RLS. The compression socks help improve circulation, and along with the pressure, they help to soothe those twitchy nerves in the legs. The same can be said for compression sleeves.
The best thing about compression socks for Restless Legs Syndrome sufferers is that unlike some medications they begin to work right away and you don't need a prescription for them. They are also a very cost-effective treatment when you consider how many times you can wear a pair of compression socks or sleeves. They probably cost less than a month's supply of medication.
