Restless leg syndrome HELP

i’m 4 weeks 3 days pregnant and I’m kept up ALL night with restless leg syndrome - I’ve tried magnesium oil and even got a massager that I can rest my leg on in bed but nothing seems to help. Can anyone recommend anything to help alleviate the pain in days and/or evenings? Thank you!

Not sure how effective magnesium oil is. Id start taking magnesium orally.i take a triple blend from British supplements and it works well for me. Low iron and low folate can also cause it. Have you had your levels checked?

Mine was caused by anaemia, definitely get your blood tested asap. You can ask your GP if you don’t have a midwife yet.
