Sometimes it feels like we have never-ending summer in Florida. Thank heaven for air conditioning!<\/p>\n<p>For those of us who are old enough to remember the days before air conditioning, we are even more grateful for air conditioning.\u00a0 I remember being pregnant with my son in 1967, when we were living in San Antonio, Texas.\u00a0 Most people didn\u2019t have air conditioning yet, and we certainly didn\u2019t.\u00a0 I came to realize why Southerners talk so slow (remember, I\u2019m a New Yorker).\u00a0 It was so hot we just didn\u2019t talk at all. It took too much effort!<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, this time of year seems to pass quickly, and we\u2019ll be getting back into cooler weather before we know it.\u00a0 At least, that\u2019s what I\u2019m telling myself.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/vitamin-d-and-cancer-risk\/vitamin-d-and-cancer-risk-confusion\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2867\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vitamin-d-and-cancer-risk-confusion-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"confusion\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vitamin-d-and-cancer-risk-confusion-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/vitamin-d-and-cancer-risk-confusion.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>A reader asked me to talk about RLS this month.\u00a0 Restless Leg Syndrome is a tricky topic, depending on which expert you read.\u00a0 The Mayo Clinic said there isn\u2019t a known cause of RLS, but it may be caused by an imbalance of the brain chemical dopamine.\u00a0 The Mayo Clinic has also said RLS can be related to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Peripheral neuropathy.<\/li>\n<li>Iron deficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Kidney failure.<\/li>\n<li>Spinal cord conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yes, there isn\u2019t a definitive cause for RLS.<\/p>\n<p>A friend had RLS and told me that when she took iron supplements, and totally avoided flour and sugar that her symptoms disappeared.\u00a0 Then I read that iron is the worst thing to take for RLS.\u00a0 Go figure!<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I\u2019m not a doctor or a nutritionist, so I look at the possible muscular cause of RLS.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Muscles, Nerves, And RLS<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The nerves that go to your leg are the sciatic and femoral nerves, which are the continuation of your spinal cord, separating at your lumbar vertebrae to go down both of your legs.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/teachmeanatomy.info\/lower-limb\/nerves\/femoral-nerve\/\">femoral nerve<\/a><\/strong> goes underneath and through your psoas muscle and under your inguinal ligament.\u00a0 It innervates your anterior\/medial thigh muscles. The importance in this pathway will be discussed, but please make note of how the nerve passes underneath the inguinal ligament.<\/p>\n<p>Your<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/teachmeanatomy.info\/lower-limb\/nerves\/sciatic-nerve\/\">sciatic nerve<\/a><\/strong> is the largest nerve in the body.\u00a0 Its pathway is so big that we\u2019ll just say it innervates your buttocks and the rest of your leg and foot that isn\u2019t innervated by the femoral nerve.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving your spine at your low back, these nerves pass under and through some powerful muscles, and this can be a problem when the muscles are tightened by a repetitive strain injury (RSI).\u00a0 When a muscle contracts it pulls on the insertion point and you move a joint.<\/p>\n<p>As you do something over and over (something as simple as sitting down and staying still for a long period of time) a phenomenon called \u201cmuscle memory\u201d causes the muscle to shorten to a contracted length, and you have a problem when you go to move in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>For Example\u2026<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two muscles, the psoas and iliacus, connect your lumbar vertebrae and pelvis to your upper leg (femur).\u00a0 When they contract you bend forward (psoas), lift your leg (iliacus) or sit down (both muscles).\u00a0 When you sit for an extended period of time, muscle memory causes the muscles to change to the shorter length.<\/p>\n<p>When you go to stand up these muscles are too short to easily lengthen enough for you to stand up, and you feel a strain at your low back.\u00a0 Both your lumbar vertebrae and your pelvis rotate forward and down as the muscles are being strained while they are lengthening.<\/p>\n<p>As the pelvis is rotating forward and down, several things happen that impact the sciatic and femoral nerves.<\/p>\n<p>First the muscles tighten and since the nerves are passing through the muscles, the nerves are \u201cpinched\u201d in the pelvic area.\u00a0 This can cause the nerves to send impulses to the lower leg and foot.<\/p>\n<p>Next, as I mentioned above, the femoral nerve passes through the psoas muscle and is then directly underneath the inguinal ligament.\u00a0 As the muscle tightens it presses the nerve up into the inguinal ligament, causing potential damage to the nerve, and also sending impulses to the quadriceps muscles.<\/p>\n<p>As these nerves are impinged and sending impulses to the muscles, the muscle fibers may respond with itching, burning, and twitching.\u00a0 You are experiencing the results in your thigh, but the cause of the problem is actually deep in your lower pelvic area.<\/p>\n<p>[I realize this description is a bit confusing, and I\u2019m not going into detail here. However if you are interested, or if you have low back pain, I suggest you consider getting my book <a href=\"https:\/\/julstromethod.com\/product-category\/shop\/books\/hard-cover\/\"><strong><em>The 15 Minute Back Pain Solution<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>. <\/em>This book will explain all of it in detail, and it will show you how to self-treat each muscle that impacts your low back, hips, sciatic nerve, groin, and knees.]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Relief From Restless Leg Syndrome<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most times the order of treatment isn\u2019t important, but when it comes to the pelvic muscles, and all the related muscles, the order is vital as one muscle can stop the entire treatment protocol from working.\u00a0 This is why I wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/julstromethod.com\/product-category\/shop\/books\/hard-cover\/\"><strong><em>The 15 Minute Back Pain Solution<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>. <\/em>It gives you the exact order of treatment, and has photographs of doing each treatment, along with the explanation and a graphic of where that muscle refers pain\/numbness.\u00a0 To try to explain it here would require my putting the book into a newsletter, so that isn\u2019t doable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/?attachment_id=4367#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4367\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Treating-Your-Anterior-Thigh-Muscles-236x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Treating-Your-Anterior-Thigh-Muscles-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.chaneyhealth.com\/healthtips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Treating-Your-Anterior-Thigh-Muscles.jpg 381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a>Start by treating your anterior thigh muscles.
