Out of no where, I started waking up with a numb left thigh. The problem then escalated to become excruciating pain in the middle of the night, that literally feels like a bullet hit you in the thigh. That happened 5 times in one night.

I went directly to a neurologist the next morning, and came to realize that I have MP. It was caused by heavy weight squatting at the gym which caused this problem.

The doc prescribed pain killers for 15 days, then he told me to stop them and do nothing about it.

Well it did get better after 15 days, and now it has been 2 months. The thing is, if i dance, run, or exhaust my self in anyway, I get the same tingling feeling, and the same pain. It never really left, it just goes and comes back.

I just did yoga and couldn't even finish the class, cause it was creeping back. And as i write this, i have a feeling that it is worst than it was an hour ago! way worst.

SO my question is, how do I treat this problem? Are there any recommended exercises? Any books online to buy? Any help would be appreciated.

thank you.
Hello
I am not sure what happens at the beginning acute phase of MP. My daughter age 24 has had MP for many many years but only diagnosed with MP 1 1/2 years ago. She also is very fit, not a diabetic, and we cannot pinpoint the cause. I hope you have the acute type that will resolve its self over time. Hers became chronic and she has had severe pain that nothing seems to help for 2 solid years now.
The neurologist put her on Neurontin, Lyrica, Tegretol,and lidocaine patches capsacian crème etc..... Since we started in the middle of MP and you seem to be a the start of MP I am not sure what advice to give. I just hated to not respond as it seems information on MP is so hard to find. I did find good some valuable posts on this site. Scour it and educate yourself on MP. The acute cases seem to resolve with time. Chronic MP is a whole different ball game. I think to be considered chronic it has to be a year or longer.

The immediate treatment for my daughter after diagnosis was meds, meds, meds, and more meds. She was so young to be a zombie on all this medication. No one locally has any answers for long term treatment.
I am sorry I didn't help much. Hope it resolves on its own.
