RLS post-op

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op left hip arthroscopy and started having RLS-like symptoms around 1 1/2 weeks post op.  It happens mainly at night when I try to sleep, but I have noticed it during the day if I lay/sit for too long.  It feels like a creepy crawly sensation under the skin and I'm really restless. It's just such an uncomfortable, weird feeling/sensation. I guess since I've had so many nerve issues the past year maybe that is why I am having these symptoms? I wasn't sure how normal experiencing RLS symptoms post arthroscopy was, so I reached out to the girls on Hip Chicks. A couple girls have experienced RLS post-op as well and offered some suggestions. Ambien, low dose of Xanax, magnesium supplements, and Min-Tram pills were all recommended. So far the combo of magnesium and flexoril (muscle relaxor) works the best. I don't have an Ambien or Xanax prescription so I will need to get it from my PCP if it gets any worse. I emailed Tiffany just to keep her and Dr E in the loop. I guess it isn't that common and definitely isn't a severe complication as they thought it would be best for my PCP to handle it. Crossing my fingers that it gets better soon!
