Jess,

I'd dump that GP too. Hopefully your next one will at least be able to keep his foot out of his mouth!!

I get leg pain too - but not every night. It usually wakes me up and is a aching (sometimes stabbing)moderate to severe pain. Have had MRI's and evaluations - found nothing. Like you, this only ever happens at night after I have been in bed for (usually) hours.

One doc had a theory that it was lymph that wasn't properly flushing to the lymph nodes - - or that lymph nodes were clogging. Anyway, I was shown how to do manual lymph drainage (MLD) - - and believe it or not, it works!! Everytime!! In 10 minutes or so, I can resolve the pain and sleep the rest of the night!

You can look up MLD on internet to learn how to do it. It is a very, very light movement across the skin - firm or deep massage is contraindicated for lymph drainage.

Perhaps this would help you - hope so anyway.

Sue
