![]() Sorry you are now having problems with your RLS.Here is what I think is happeningġ/ After surgery is a notorious time for RLS ramping up, I hear of this happening every day.Ģ/ For some reason back, hip and knee surgery seem to be the worst offenders. Hi mumof Sam,First of all I am pleased your surgery has been a success ,I at the same operation 20 years ago. ![]() What I'm asking is, does anyone have experience of withdrawal from a drug such as Tramadol, and how long my RLS symptoms will be augmented by it? To be honest I found my RLS had got worse even before I started withdrawing from Tramadol, so could it be the back surgery, or a combination of both? I'm at the point of going to my doctors for help, but if even taking Tramadol doesn't help any more, what could they do? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I know it's used as a treatment for RLS in low doses, and I even tried on a couple of nights taking 100g of Tramadol but it made no difference. However, my RLS has been driving me crazy every night the whole time. It's now 2 and a half weeks since I had the surgery, and I've weaned myself off Tramadol and stopped taking the paracetamol. I've now had lumbar decompression surgery to treat the sciatica, which has been successful. I noticed that all the time I was taking Tramadol I never suffered from RLS, except for a couple of occasions when I stopped taking it and it drove my RLS crazy, so I started taking the full whack again. I was given Tramadol, and then as the pain got worse I ended up on 400g of Tramadol a day (plus 4000g of paracetamol as well 3 months ago). However, all that changed when I started with sciatica 8 months ago. ![]() Also, having had it all my life I've just kind of dealt with it as one of those things, however unpleasant. I've never taken meds for it as, although it was much worse when I was younger, in the last 20 years or so it only really bothered me for a few days once a month. ![]() I've suffered from RLS my entire life (53 years and counting) but didn't realise that it was RLS until I was in my 40s. ![]()
