THIS WORKS!!..and without meds

I tried a lot of things, but this is the best!  Make a beanbag approximately 15" x 8".  I've made mine out of flannel, with a removable washable cover out of fleece.  Fill with wheat berries, I used winter red hard wheat berries. You can find them at some natural food stores or online. Use approx 6-8 cups to make it 1 inch high laying flat. Heat the bean bag in microwave 2-3 minutes, take out and move around to mix up wheat berries, then another 2-3 minutes, until it is as hot as you can comfortably tolerate on your legs.  Then in bed or on couch (couch works best because you have a side to lean against), in kneeling position, put beanbag on back of knees squeezed between thighs and calves. Then lean forward into resting position (I use a couple pillows in front of me).  This instantly provides relief.  Then you can relax and hopefully fall asleep, but at least you are comfortable. The bag stays plenty warm 20 to 30 minutes. If you haven't fallen asleep by then, just get up and reheat.  Be sure not to use an electric heating pad this way, as you can seriously burn yourself. The bean bag works well because it contours to your legs.
