Hi Lesley
I am so sorry your pain has progressed,I too had leg pain progressing higher up the leg and at that point my G P sent me to a Pain Management Clinic and that is where I have had most help. Why don't you ask for this referral?Just a thought have you tried Chilli Pepper cream,it has a warming effect on application and takes the pain away long enough for me to fall asleep.
Hope you feel better soon and again good luck on 26th.
Arlene

I saw my own doctor last Friday and he checked for my blood test results but all he told me was that my ANA was high. He also said he was happy for me to increase the neurontin I am taking for the pain, I have done this. But this week as soon as I start to do something around the house or go shopping I get terrible leg pain,  I have had pain in my legs before but now it is getting worse an I do not know what to do for the pain. I ended up taHiking Valium last night so I could get to sleep and I can no longer have my afternoon nap because of the pain. It is winter over here so I sit with a blanket over my legs and I have just brought an electric throw rug and it does seem to help a little bit. Does any one else have bad leg pain and what do you do for it. I go back to the neuroligist on the 26th July, so am hoping for some answers and maybe the cause for my SFPN. If nothing shows I feel he will send me home with this pain and left to deal with it on my own.
Any help would be appreciated.  |
