Nothing helps, I've tried stretching, tensing leg muscles, relaxing them,walking round, wiggling me feet, walking round, hot bath, cold bath, swearing, the lot. Nothing does it. I'm exhausted an fed up :o( x Thankyou 4 your reply MarkRae xx

Hi Curvybird!

My Mum suffered years with this! She found relief from using a product that contained horse chestnut extract (Aesculus hippocastanum) it was a roll on bottle and you roll it over your legs before going to bed and it opens the cappillaries on the leg improving circulation (I think! not too sure on exactly how it works) I think there may have been a cream too.
She bought it from the health food shop in town so I'm sure if you go to your nearest one and ask they will be able to help you :o)

Hope this helps, I know my Mum wishes she had discovered this years ago!!
