Leg and body pain @ nites
 

How do you control MG the pain in your body and specially in your legs during the night. I believe that is from all the walking and errands done during the day. What should I do? How much aches or pain can you or I tolerate? I take mestinon only twice a day.

Thanks for posting this topic! I have just been a very interested observer on this site so far but I had to comment on this one!

I suffer leg pain at night. It's so frustrating. Mainly the lower leg and usually when I've done a little bit of walking. I'm lucky unless I'm really fatigued I can walk about 1/2 hour without problems. My symptoms are upper body, mouth and eyes. But my problem is that while I can walk ok without problem I seem to pay for it at night. Why??!! I try and walk as its good for me mentally, keeps my weight stable and as I'm on Prednisolone other nasties away. I used to love long, long walks and accept that maybe I won't be able to do that again but I so want to walk at least 30 mins a day.

I too have leg pain, especially at night. It seems to be more pronounced when i lay down, as if gravity is somehow lessening the pain (maybe blood flow issue?)

Re dealing with i use hot and or ice compresses and i take 2 alleve everyday for aches and pains in general

I take one or two Arthritis Strength Tylenol EVERY night or my legs keep me awake. :( My pain is always in my lower legs, too.

I was taking 2 ibuprofen tablets every night, but my neurologist got all worried and said that it was horrible to take that much. Does anybody know if ibuprofen will kill you?

Leg aches or pain
 

I assume that is from what you did during the day. Walking or any activity done cause the issue. That it is my personal opinnion. To Southblues, I am not sure but is not bad for your stomach? I take neurontín @ nights. But I have read is bad for MG. Even with neurontin I can have a strong pain that wont go or let me sleep.

It doesn't bother my stomach. He is convinced that daily ibuprofen will cause kidney failure. I have never had any bad kidney tests.

My leg pains are inversely proportional to the amount of liquid I have absorbed during the day...

More liquid, less pain or opposite?

Leg Pain-aches
 

I do not know, my pain is related to Myasthenia Gravis. Do you have Myasthenia Gravis? I gained lots of weight from some medications including prednisone, and since I am losing weight dieting I am not swelling in my legs. Also I used to have swelling from sodas, specially diet coke.
