Today, both knees became too painful to stand on. My left foot, across the top hurt too much to put weight on (all of these have happened at different times and usually only last about a half hour -- so far).

My index finger on my right hand has hurt, off and on, for about a month. I can't use a knife or fork to cut food when it is like that. I can't write with a pencil, it hurts too much.

My left hand has hurt for about two months. My little finger on my left hand hurts like it is broken. And I have broke it a few times in the martial arts. Then it is normal again.

My left "shin" bone -- I touched it today and it hurt too much to touch again.

My left foot, across the top, hurt too much to put weight on. (Sound familiar to anyone?)

I was laying on my back, with my left elbow on the bed, my left forearm pointing straight up. The bone started hurting. It hurt too much to lay down on the bed.

My neck muscles hurt for awhile tonight. The only muscle problem that I can remember.

Both of my feet have hurt too bad to put weight on them at times. No consistency, except for my left hand.

I started my detox off opiates last summer and have not had any since approx. August 4, 2008. I think being on opiates the last few years masked this problem. It seems odd that my nerve problems came on as I started the detox. My RLS is under control with Mirapex.

I know I am forgetting several other odd places I have been hit with pain. For what it is worth, I did the test where we stand up for a minute or so, with our eyes closed. I had zero problems with it. Blomberg or thromberg, sorry, can't remember it right now.

I am seeing one of our best Rhumatologists in twelve days. I am not sure what to tell him, other than what I have said here.

Does this sound like PN?
