Default Is this normal?

Ok, not sure if anyone read a couple of my other posts where I mentioned a burning sensation on my left thigh and leg.

Tonight, my thigh is burning, but not quite as bad as it had been. I took some neurontin and that has sorta helped. Didnt help much today because it's still burning, but it's not quite as bad as it was.

My skin feels warm and sometimes hot to the touch where it burns. I also dont quite feel well. I cant explain it. It's kind of an uncomfortable feeling, like I'm just not....comfortable.

I want to start crying. I really hate this sensation of burning and not feeling good. I've never felt like this before. Also, I feel like my joints are all hurting. Especially my right shoulder and elbow (like a tendinitis sensation)

I've also been dizzy today, but I'm suspecting that's from the neurontin and not an actual vertigo attack.

I am so tempted to call the neuro and beg for some steroids. Would steroids make this burning go away, or is this something that I just have to suffer thru till it's over (or learn to live with it?)

My feet dont feel quite as numb as they did last night, but my toes on the left foot feel stiff, and I feel like I'm not walking normally. I think I may have jinxed myself when I told my parents (and I think I posted here too) that the neuro thought I was better.

I'm going to (hopefully) go out with my boyfriend this weekend, but if I still feel like this, I might end up giving him a raincheck.

I hope this goes away soon. I'm going to go pop another neurontin (last one was around 2pm (friday)

I just want this to stop! ArrrrrrrgggGGGGghhhhHHHHHH!!!!!
