I once worked with a client who found themselves in a similar situation after having a knee replacement. Since massage wasn't an option, we explored a few alternatives. Compression wraps, like Restiffic, proved to be really helpful, and switching between warm baths and cold packs before bedtime helped to soothe the nerves. We also discovered that using a TENS unit on the calf worked surprisingly well, it's affordable and user-friendly. It's also a good idea to check iron and magnesium levels, if they're low, it can worsen restless leg syndrome. These might not be extravagant solutions, but those little adjustments really made a significant impact for them.
