My legs have been bothering me & getting worse for the past few months. Some days I would be in tears but I am also not producing tears for some reason. I go to the eye dr. on Monday. Instead of tears, my teeth chatter & I get the shakes.
The pain started in my left leg so I didn't think much of it bacause I have a bad left hip. I have recently found out that I have a birth defect in my spine that has caused my femoral head to become flat instead of round. Since I have an "inflammatory condition" (rheumy is thinking lupus but my ana was negative), it's like I have chronic bursitis in my left hip.
The pain started out as an ache with shocking, stabbing, throbbing sensations down the left side. Kinda like after a Charlie horse. Or like shin splints in the side of my calf not on my shin. It's not a muscular pain. I would know. I used to teach step class & kick boxing.
The pain kept me up that 1st night. I rested the entire next day with no pain let up. I took a Trazadone, perscribed to me for sleep, that night & woke up the next day with no pain. Well now my left leg hurts all the time & my right leg hurts sometimes too.
Sunday I couldn't even go to church. The Sunday before I had the shocking, stabbing, throbbing pain from my left knee to the tip of my pinky toe. When I stood I was better. I have bone pain in my right arm similar to this pain.
My left legs hurt all the time. 24/7. I have been taking percocet & loratabs to get through the day. It does not matter what I do. Rest does not help. My butt hurts to, where my hip joint is. I see the rheumy the 28th. I told her about this when I saw her on 12/17, which was my 1st visit. I don't think she was listening to me. This pain has taken over any of my other pains & worries.
I guess what I am getting to, is there anyone else with these weird pains in their legs? What do you do about them? I do not want to get addicted to pain killers. They don't even do that great of a job. Oh, now the back of my thigh on my left leg hurts all the time. It's a muscular pain.
Thanks for any advice. Have a great weekend!

P.S: When I have an itch & scratch it, my skin hurts terribly. The pain radiates. What's up with that?
