Default Painful Legs?
What do you do about the pain in your legs. This started about a month ago, is this a flare or just symptoms again. I take baclefen, which helps I have not had much pain except 5 years ago when it was in my R. arm so bad that I had to have IV steroids. I don't think this needs steroids, but it hurts in both legs and it is more difficult to walk. Do you feel like you have to be your own doctor.

I feel it's best to call your doctor to let him or her know what's going on. I know my neuro tells us to call when things crop up.
Hope you feel better soon

Hi poochie,
What type of pain are you referring too? Is it spasms, heaviness, burning, shocks, dull aches or a nerve-like pain? Your Neuro will want you to explain the type of pain you are having, so he/she can decide what treatment, if any, will help you.

When in doubt about something, always call your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.

It's spasms with dull aches, I know it's not nerve pain, I've had that before. I'm thinking its the statin drug I've been on for 9 years, I don't know why after 9 years, but I've been off for 2 days and the pain is somewhat better, I will talk to him next week. It sort of mimics MS pain, so I will have to take different steps to find out.
