Smirk Hi

Hi
I think you should talk to a paediatric consultant or a neurologist because this could be something called RSD/CRPS.
It affects your nerves causing you to have Chronic Pain that wont go away. I developed it recently after what I thought was going to "just" be a sprained ankle. There is no specific test that they can do to see if it is RSD they just see if you have the symptoms of it and then if you have more than 3 the chances are you do have it. They may also want to do blood tests to see if you are at risk of developing Athritis.
For me they did an MRI scan, but Im still waiting for the results!!
Hope this helps
Alison

RSD/CRPS has severe sensitivity, burning, swelling, skin and color changes.
We have a forum for RSD if those seem to fit.

sometimes you just need to keep seeing different doctors or therapists until you find one that can help you.

It helps to clearly describe your symptoms and the treatments that you have had already to the new doctors - so they know what has been done and checked already.
Have you tried a very good chiropractor?

Haruna,

Do you have any heavyness in your legs? Could you better describe where in your legs the pain is and what kind of pain? By this I mean aching, stabbing, crushing pain. We can help you more if you explain your pain and anything that makes it worse or better.

I will be watching for your reply.

Hope you feel better soon.

RSD since 1999 right foot and ankle from fracture of 2 bones, after stepping in a hole at an apartment complex while visiting a hospice patient. Again hunting for a new PMD.

It does not sound like you have RSD/ CRPS to me, Haruna! That is good as it is rated the "worst form of chronic pain in the world today", and very hard to treat.

I am sorry you are experiencing this pain. I do hope that you find out what your problem is.
