Any doctor or pharmacist–does arthritis medication Mobic help Restless Leg Syndrome?
By
I've asked any doctor or pharmacist reading these questions to help answer mine, but if anyone if familiar with RLS and Mobic, please answer. Thank you.
Mobic is not indicated, on or off label, for Restless leg syndrome. Carbamezpine is indicated off label for RLS.

No. Never heard of it, never read anything of the like and never prescribed Mobic for it.
Remember you cannot fix the problem until you diagnose it. Unless the cause of your RLS is due to an inflammatory condition (unlikely) then Mobic will not help. Explore the differential diagnosis for RLS further…

Vitamin E, 400 Units, once a day will help restless leg syndrome.

This medicine is for inflammation. I think you would get great relief from deep tissue massage. I have this problem and when I get a massage I get relief for many days. If you have a access to a Jacuzzi that could help your pain. Many people use muscle relaxants and that helps them to sleep without the legs interfering. Check with your doctor and see if there is something else available to help you.
