Being around so much of the public as I have, I've sent at least a dozen people to doctors, and given them RSD info. It solved their "searching for an answer", which so many of us know so well....

I got to know that "look on the face", and when they mentioned pain all over, or one spot, I was able to zero in. The thanks I've gotten are sweet, but sad....

I'm 20 years old, female, I've been having SEVERE bone pain in my right calf, it's been happening for years and I've always thought it was too minor to see a dr about.

It's not constant.. I get it about once a week and it never goes away on its own, I usually take codeine to help it... I'm positive it's not muscle pain as its all located in the front of my calf (the boney part)

It sounds like whats been happening to some of you.. I always in the back of my head assumed it was bone cancer but thought that was silly and never saw the dr about it.

maybe you can offer me some advice. does this sound like what some of you have? How often do you get it?

thanks for any help!

Mine is in my femur and hip mainly, but at times it decides to affect my knee and tibia....Oh joy! Anyway. The best way I know how to decribe it is like my bones are in a vice while many tiny electrical currents are "zooming" up and down my leg. That's when it is acting up...but for the most part it's a dull, achy, annoying pain. I haven't found too much that makes it feel better other than rest....but I have to sit in a recliner with my feet up and it reclined. If i sit for too long my whole thigh and groin begin to burn while my foot processeds to falling asleep and going ice cold. It's kinda wierd...having the top half of my leg on fire while the bottom half is frozen....bet a physicist would have a field trying to explain that one I just try to manage the best I can and keep moving when I can't sit and relax...I also try humor, it tends to help me cope with things. Hope all goes well.
