Default RlS?
Leslie, you made a statement that has me wondering if you might also be dealing with RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome):

Quote:
but am still having a lot of leg pain and I am having trouble sleeping at night
I have had occasional bouts of RLS for over 20 years, but with the onset of SFN, I started having nightly bouts of it. I'm not sure, but think that RLS is common with SFN.

You might talk with your doctor about treating you for RLS and see if that helps with the leg pain at night. It certainly helped me.

Thank you plgerrad, my mother suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome her symtoms sound different to mine, my legs just ache all the time and more at night, I don't have the feeling to move them anymore I did when I was on different meds, (Dopth75 and Tramadol) I was also having jerking movements then, I get these now and then now but not all the time. But I will talk to my doctor about RLS and see what he says.

thank you for your help

Lesley

I am replying regarding my glucose tolerance test, just got my results back and I am not diabetic. I check the results on the internet to make sure, all is good. I have not been checked for vit D yet, my doctor is going to a meeting on Vit D on Friday, he said he will test me after this, so he knows more.

Thanks again everyone

Lesley
