Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Big Steve, my legs get a feeling like they are on FIRE if I walk any kind of distance especially after a days work. I now have to use a cane at times, or should I say most of the time. My Rheumy told me to take a Potassium supplement which has helped a bit, but not all that much. I have finally swallowed my pride and applied for a handicapped placard for my vehicles so that I don't have to walk as far. One day not to long ago I was shopping and some inconsiderate bastard moved my cart about 20 feet down the isle and I literally had to pull myself along the shelves to get to it as the cart was the only thing holding me up. Now that I am no longer allowed to take Enbrel or MTX out of concerns of possible MS my joints are also killing me and some swelling has already returned. Fun,fun,fun! Kirk. Nobody gets leg ache? ok i f this never happens then I am baffled .... I have a burning sensation in my legs .... this must mean something.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I also forgot to add, eating bananas will also help, and they are good for you. I eat them with my Wheaties!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I have also had it in my upper body on many occasions, except it felt different than my legs. With my job there are many instances where you are working with your arms above you head. There have been a number of days where the pain was so bad I couldn't do it without suffering greatly. There were even a few days where I couldn't even hide the pain and had to walk away from the job and have someone else do it and I would " trade " jobs with them. Nothing makes me more furious than when I can't do what I know I am " gifted " at!!!!! Kirk Re: Nobody gets leg ache? I do get this burning sensation also. But not only in my legs.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I was low in potassium a couple of times and mentioned more bananas would be eaten. My doctor, who keeps up with nutritional values, said " Few people realize that kiwi's have much more potassium in them than bananas. Eat kiwi's. They are plentiful here, and I love kiwi's. I used to have very restless legs due to the low potassium. Now I get intermittent, sudden onset of severe cramps in the soles of my feet. I plan to discuss it with my next Neurology appointment. Anyone have sudden onset of cramps in the soles of the feet? Peace, Barbara I also forgot to add, eating bananas will also help, and they are good for you. I eat them with my Wheaties!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I get wicked cramps and/or pains in every single part of my legs ever since I had to stop taking Enbrel & MTX. My wrists, elbows & shoulders like to join in the mix also, but they don't get used nearly as much. By the end of the day, my feet, shins and knees are 100% shot and " spike " pain.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi Barb, I suffered from leg/foot cramps for a long time. Several weeks ago my local newspaper had an article about it and suggested drinking low sodium V-8 juice. I gave it a try and lo and behold! No more cramps! I drink 8 oz. of V-8 juice before my main meal and not only has it stopped the cramps but it also lessens my appetite! What a bonus! Give it a try and let me know if it helps.
