muscle pain
 

my left upper arm is killing me. the muscle is throbbing like to cry and my pain meds that I am on is not working.

what may help is some heat. i use my heating pad a lot for my muscle pain and it works for me.

remember 20 min's on 20 min's off. you can dry a muscle out if you use too much heat for too long a time.

if a position you're sitting in is causing pain try to change it up.
also if you know of a massage therapist that will also help.

Thanks Judy I am getting ready to put it on. I was just walking around with a bag of candy from the freezer on my arm lol. This is really so new to me to be hurting all over my body at any given time. My back has been the issues for so many years of my life.

Awwww Shady.:( I hope the heat helps you..:hug:

Now my calf
 

Now I went out the other night and I had to go up and down steps and I park the car a block away so I had to walk back to the car. When I got home my calf were killing me so I thought it was just because I have not worked out my legs in a while and it would go away. It has been 2 days and I can hardly walk when I stand up because of how the back of my legs hurt so bad and bending them back and forth to walk is really hard. It will not stop.

Sound inflamed...maybe a little ice on it this time? Feel better.:hug:

Thanks Sally I didn't have any ice but I used the heating pad and it made it feel so much better. I am so new to this, it is not all the way gone but I can at least walk.

something else that is new to me is the hot sweating. I was having hot flashing because of menopause but now I get hot and then I just start sweating all over.

i can't remember if you have a definite dx (diagnosis) of MS.
if you do maybe your dr would consider giving you a handicapped sticker. it really helps to park closer to your destination. it saves energy and pain.

You should try Flexeril, it works like a charm. It is given to Fibro patients. I started it four days ago and have been pain free. I'm just worried though that when I stop on Thursday that my pain will return.

Do you have to stop Flexeril, Carebear?
