You can also have something called "banding" around your extremities. Feels like someone has wrapped something around your arms or legs. That will sometimes feel like your wearing rubber gloves, or boots if it's on your hands or feet.

Right now, I have an invisible band of something around my upper left thigh. It's really annoying. It's really disturbing the first time you feel something like that. But, it's sensory, it's not something that a doctor might feel is an emergency.

That was kind of a hard thing to learn. That doctors see sensory symptoms as something that's not an emergency that they need to do something about if you don't have anything else going on...and the doctors that I've seen for sensory symptoms really do not communicate that fact back to me. They've all seemed seriously unsympathetic and basically have made me feel like they think I'm faking. Not a good feeling.

I've had exactly one doctor show sympathy for a sensory symptom, and that's only because I know he has a medical condition that causes similar symptoms and he was able to relate to the weird feelings.

are you on any muscle relaxers?
i agree with sally on taking the meds recommended and rest. hopefully the steroid will help with the sx's.

it sounds as tho some of the pain is residual, left over, from very tight muscles. you might try a low heating pad several times a day over the sore spots. don't use it too high or too long as that can dry the muscle out.

a warm bath might also help release sore muscles. don't get too warm in the bath as that can make you weak. you don't want to raise your body temp too much.
