is it worth seeing someone?

I don’t want to waste nhs time during this pandemic for something that isn’t serious. I suffer from restless leg syndrome and it gets super bad at night and i’m losing sleep, is it worth me going to the doctors or does anyone know anything i can do from home to help?

Assuming that they are neurological, there are treatments we can do to try to make you feel better.  When nerves are damaged, they do not heal like skin or muscle.  But we can control the symptoms of how you feel.  Neurotin and b12 cortisone injections are such treatments that come to mind.  You can see a doctor and do therapy at home.  Nerve conditions are difficult to treat so everything should and may be done at the same time.

I have a similar problem with my feet after midnight. I have Neuropathy in the soles of my feet. Neuropathy is defined as pain along the pathway of a nerve. I thing restless-leg syndrome is a problem of nerves. There is  a website called, "people'spharmacy.com" that offers home remedies. Investigate! As long as weight is applied to my feet(sitting or standing)the stinging goes away. If I wear heavy socks or house slippers to bed, the stinging stops.

I found light stretching before bedtime ( or walking) as well as making sure you are getting enough Minerals ( potassium & magnesium for me) helped the most
