Sometimes TENS treatments help, with specific areas of pain.
Check with your doc. Home units are available, for self treatment - at reasonable prices.

I have leg pain that is horrid. Well it is inner ankle/foot/calf of both legs. For me right now it is about meds and the right amount of activity where it is not too much and not too little. In a flare up where it gets worse though it is about waiting for the time to pass. Do you see a pain doctor? I agree with the other poster that they can help with pain treatment through meds and other treatments. I would ask the neuro about a referal or look for one on your own. I can't tolerate tens cause a finger even increases my pain but some people find it helpful. Though obviously it is not going to take the pain away to relax a bath and some find epsom salt to relax. I wish I had more answers for you and relief. Could you see if your neuro can see you earlier?

Thank you all for you throughts, I had not thought about using the chilli cream all over my legs I had been using it on my thighs, so I am rubbing it in all over now. I have also increased my neurontin by taking more at lunch time it seems to be helping by doing that. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow so I will talk to him. And yes I need to learn when enough is enough and when to stop.
