This isn't strictly for women, but it could and you're most likely to dawg your menfolk. Went to the family doc recently for other stuff. My knees have ached all my life. Told doc I had to stretch my legs out, bend my legs, tighten my knees constantly to try to keep the pain down when I'm in bed. Have tried aspirin, bufferin, Ibuprofin, etc. No luck. Asked if this was RLS, Restless Leg Syndrone you hear about on TV. He said it sounded like it. Said he could give me a script for Requip (or something like that), or simply take magnesium. Have been taking one 250mg mag in eve and one at bedtime. Pain is GONE. I have one new knee replacement and the other is shot. No pain in either at bedtime. Thought I'd pass this along. Hope somebody finds this info useful.
