My pn is in my legs well inner/ankle/foot/calf. It was just in the left but now in both. The right has really gotten bad.I also have something similar to rsd and possible fibro. Well 6 weeks ago I was laying on the floor and got up and pulled my back. Very painful. Well it is still bad and I don't know if it is a muscle pull or related to the legs. I have had all the tests like mri of brain spine,emgs'etc. This was before the back. So my ? is what doc do I go to for the back? To I treat it like a muscle pull or part of this whole other issue?

A neuro doctor I think would be the right direction you should go. I have PN in both of my feet and when this happened last year it was like something in my back just snapped and I had the worst pain. It's not as bad now because I have been going to therapy. My neuro doctor now is having a MRI of my spine done so he can look at whats going on. Can you get another mri of your spine because of this pulled back? Good Luck.

I've had poly neuropathy's,but I would suggest a spine Dr. or a ortho,
because if that was something that happened while getting up and
you didn't have the problem before..You need that back checked no fooling
around..Look it could be a broken rib as long as it didn't puncture you lung,
you would not believe how much that hurts..Nothing much you can do with
a broken rib,but the lung wow..You do need a MRI, calll your Neuro or
GP and tell them what happened and to point you in right direction.
Or go through the ER. I have PN in the spine no fun. Hugs to all Sue

I have recently broken my back (one of those dratted stress fractures). They hurt a lot and some of them need bracing. My neuro picked up on it and had me MRI'd that day. I'd see your neuro.

Good luck Sweetheart.

Billye really sufffered ,they are alfull Bob same thing,I know you young and I
know you hate when someone saids that,as did I at you age. I can't
remember have you had a bone densty test. At this time bracing can
be a pain,but it really works on many..Billye is doing better and that's
a joy. Hugs Sue

Thank you all. I just don't know how it could be broken from getting up off the floor. I did have a bone scan and have osteoporosis. The back goes up and down so much but never away. ALways tight and painful but varing degrees. My legs have been more painful too but that just may be my flare up which is very high or maybe a whole combo with the progression of my right too. I feel like it is hard to walk again and it is never easy but lately super hard. Really I am so lost. I guess with my legs and going through so many tests like multiple mri,emg etc and really for what. Before the partial dx and after which there is still a lot unknown for me and it has to be that way but the treatment has been the same. If there was a trapped nerve and they found out yes then it is still the same treatment so why go through all of that? I prey with each new doc I go to to get a winner but I never do. I mean really how many have I seen for no help and sometimes worse. Sorry this is so negative. I feel so frustrated like many here. Thanks I may be young but my real body age like they do on Oz is like 70. I think you guys are right though to the neuro cause they can do more then just an orthopedic and maybe have more input on my legs. You all fighting gives me the strength to.
