Thanks so much for your advice again, very helpful!

One major problem in my case has been trying to find the underlying injury, if any at all! A few months ago in Germany we pointed out the hamstring tendon connecting into behind the knee. However now we know there is more to it than just a tendinitis injury. The problem is definitely in that area causing my rsd to radiate to below me knee and foot.

I have had lots of accumulative trauma to this area from 3 falls, surgery and repetitive strain injury following the surgery. Infact I have a stitch on the inside of my knee just where it folds. The docs are definite I have crps however some including my pain doctor believes there is something more to it. She believes I have a firing nerve around my hamstring tendon/popliteus fossa besides the crps. I have done an EMG and numerous nerve tests and MRI's which did not show any problems. Does this 100% rule out a nerve entrapment/pinched/scraped you name it? I have read that nerves can get irritated from adhesions cause by scar tissue leading to contraction etc. This really matches my case but how can I 100% rule in or out a nerve is irritated from this scaring etc?

Otherwise I can just try and compare my symptoms and see if other users have same issue of feeling as though you are stepping on a nerve and getting shocked always in the SAME particular area and constant contraction/spasm and to mcuh discomfort to 'open' the area? Im not even able to lye down with a pillow as my hamstring keeps contracting/spasms and can only keep my knee at 90 degrees where my hamstring is completely loose. This however is the worse physical position as my joints all tighten up but i cant do otherwise.

Sorry for going on and on but im just look for some help/answers and compare symptoms etc

Thanks,

Nigel
