RLS update

Last time I posted on here I had just emailed my surgeon's PA, Tiffany. She got back to me and told me that RLS is not a typical post-op complication that they treat and recommended that I get in contact with my PCP. I followed her advice and spoke to a nurse about it. My PCP decided to put me on Xanax and told me to take it as the symptoms get bad. I have noticed the RLS slowly get better over the past 2 weeks. I still suffer from the unpleasant symptoms (mainly creepy crawling feeling under skin and general restlessness)though. I will say, I have never taken xanax before and boy does it help anxiety! I still get anxious sometimes thinking about having to walk far or go to the grocery by myself or that I screwed my surgery up by over doing it! It's hard for me not to worry or stress over everything!
