View 1 RepliesI have been being treated for sciatica fo the last month with various pain killers etc, It started in my left buttock and down my left leg. It then left the left side and went into my right front thigh. The doctors etc said it was because I had been overcompensating in favour of my left side. What else I was supposed to do when all the advise is "keep moving etc," However I also have experienced soreness on the right side between my legs. I have been to do some shopping and come back done in so I am sitting on a hot water bottle typing this
View 2 RepliesI am a teenager and my legs get so purple almost like a veins all over my legs. They also get really splotchy. My hands and feet get purple and have splotches. My feet turn splotchy only when i'm sitting or standing. When I get really hot everything is normal. I hate wearing shorts or anything that shows my legs.
View 5 RepliesI am a 40 year old male about 30 pds overweight. I developed sixth nerve palsy in February 2014 and it finally cleared up three months later on its own? In July 2014 I started burning in my left arm and hand. As time has went by until now the burning has got worse in both feet and legs up to the knee. I also burn in both arms and hands. I burn across my chest and left shoulder also some. I have had several blood test, MRI, nerve electro study. The Dr. Found that I failed my oral glucose tolerance test twice and a skin biopsy showed small nerve fiber damage. I am currently on metformin 500 mg 2 x a day and gabapentin 300 mg 3 x a day. The gabapentin doesn't help. I have taken lisinopryl hctz 10- 12.5 mg and citalopram 20 mg for several years, could the burn come from these medicines? Is it because of diabetes 2, even though my a1c has been only between 5.6 - 5.9? Any ideas on the cause or what to do?

View 1 RepliesI am having pressure in head feel weak like no energy and always feel empty even if i just ate. I also have a tingling and pain in legs and feet which sometimes i can feel in my hands as well. I've been to the er and my primary who now wants me to see a neurologist yet i don't have insurance so it is hard. I had flu like symptoms in sep. Then developed bronchitis after that...started getting the tingling and burning in feet and legs while i had bronchitis. Also my blood sugar dropped to 57 not long ago but when i had lab test for bg fasting was a 97. I'm so fed up and tired of this everyone hates hearing me talk about it and just tell me to get checked out again.
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if anybody else out there is affected by RLS in the same way I am. It's very specific. Only when I'm falling asleep, my foot will jerk, sometimes rapidly, followed by the whole leg making a violent jerk. There is no sleeping thru that. Once it starts, I know I'm in for a long night because it does not stop. Even if it does, then the other leg will start doing it. (There is that creepy-crawly sensation a microsecond before the jerks, but I can't stop it from happening.) This started in the early '80's with mild episodes 2 or 3 times a week but has increased strongly over the years.
I have incredible empathy for anyone suffering from this affliction / curse and pray daily that the true cause will soon be identified.
I went to the primary doctor and he gave me a diuretic and said it's the fibromyalgia. I ended up in ER for chest pains in February so I didn't know if it was some relation to the situation. I now got into the Rheumatologist on Friday and she says it has nothing to do with the Fibro. Any input anyone?
View 5 RepliesI have always had the same symptoms with my right sided sciatica being buttock and calf pain worse on sitting but for the last few months intermittently and permanently for the last couple of weeks I have also been getting knee pain in both knees and leg / thigh muscle weakness worse on walking.
View 3 RepliesI am nearly 6 weeks post op decompression of L4-5 and have severe nerve pain returned in both legs. Up to now all I have been told is it is early days, but as time goes on, it is getting worse. Has anyone else any experience with this problem. I can't get an appointment with the surgeon for another 6 weeks and am getting very frustrated.
View 2 RepliesIi have purple/blue with white spots on my legs,feet, and hands. i get numb feelings in them and fall asleep easily. i am very tired all the time. i am starting to get depressed more easily. i have joint pain in my hips fr about 2 years now. i have high blood pressure and found out birth control can cause more reactions (i am on birth control).
View 3 RepliesI had a mini flare 10 days ago and went up from 8 to 9 and half. The last two days I have had extremely uncomfortable numbness and pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. The numbness is so bad that I scratched my leg on my zip and drew blood, but hardly felt a thing. I have a bright red weal there now.
View 12 RepliesOn Sunday night my left leg started aching and I could barely walk because it hurt so much, also my hip hurt at the same time and my lower back on the left side, I stayed home from school for two days and then tried going there but that made the pain worse so both my legs started aching, it kind of felt like constant small cramps that sometimes got more intense, in my left leg it's my thigh and knee mainly and in my left leg my shin, I had to go home because the pain distracted me from being able to work.It later got a bit better but at night I had more intense cramps in my lower legs and feet.Today i've been pretty well, went to school again and now only my left leg is aching but not as much and mainly when I put weight on it but about an hour ago the left side of my face started to feel strange, I can't really explain it..but maybe a bit strained and also it burns, my jaw feels weird too.My parents says that I should not worry because I don't have any fever at all but I still want to know what the symptoms might be? I am going to see a doctor asap but there's no idea doing it now since I don't have a fever they won't take me seriously.Let me also add that I do not exercise and I sit behind my computer a lot, so it can't be some kind of injury.
View 1 RepliesI've started taking 25MG of nortriptyline for migraines- my dosage goes up to 50 MG at the end of the week. The first few days of taking it, I experienced physical exhaustion and grogginess, as well as numbness in my legs, feet, and hands, but nothing too bad that impaired me. I also have felt more mentally focused. Any thoughts?
View 2 RepliesI have been diagnosed with WG and am on the usual medication.
WG attacked my nervous system. My feet are swollen and movement is painful. At night the swellings subsided but the moment I get up and move around the swelling flares up.
My hands have also been affected. The fingers are dead, no feeling and no muscle movement possible - cannot use the left hand at all. The right hand I can still use but the skin feels numb.
I always get stiff legs/weak legs (it is hard to describe) when i walk past people.
I know they probably aren't even looking at me but if there's a chance they could be, I find it hard to put one foot in front of the other and walk normally.
Does anyone else get this?
For just over a year now i've had pain in my left leg. It is mostly in the side of my calf but can also be from my thigh to my foot. I also have a weird feeling like slight tingly, buzzing feeling in my left foot and have noticed a slight pain in my back(not sure if related). Im only 17 so im worried of course what this could be! I have no redness, no change in temperature in my leg that i have noticed compared to the other one.
However i have heard that you can get dvt without symptoms!
I am really suffering from my hip down to my shins. I've been taking dilaudid and soma for some relief, but I was wondering if anyone had some info to share!
View 6 RepliesI was diagnosed with sciatica yesterday morning by my doctor, he prescribed co codamol 30/500.
After taking two, the pain did subside but I felt really dizzy and sick but was just glad that the pain had lessened.
I took another two at bedtime and am still awake at 4.50am! I can't sleep for scratching! I am so itchy. Has anybody else had this terrible itching?
I remember being allergic to morphine following my hysterectomy, I came out in hives. Is it that I can't take these type of drugs, ie codeine based medicines? Tramadol has also caused itching in the past.
I know a lot of people that have cold extremities and they don't have COPD. My adoptive Mom was one of those people. Her hands and feet were always freezing cold and she did not have COPD. I've had cold feet and hands all of my life long before the diagnosis of COPD.
View 2 RepliesI've been diagnosed with Haemochromatosis . My ferritin level was 1421.
I've only had 4 venesections so far but my levels are down to 700.
I know ferritin levels can fluctuate but to me this is a drastic reduction considering I've only been having treatment for a month.
Is this normal.
Also my feet get extremely cold at night if I'm just sitting down Reading or watching TV. I also have to wear bed socks at night as they are so cold. Could this be due to bad circulation and is it a symptom of Haemochromatosis.
