Re: leg pains

[Guest guest]

Hi Kelty,

My legs pains felt like someone was stabbing them all the time. I

actually went to the doctor and asked him to remove one of them, I could not

stand the pain anymore. They put me on Zithromax 600mg per day and it really

helps. Been on it for 4 years. when I go off the pains get bad again.

Hugs,

Connie

This sounds crazy, but magnets helped me. I get very sever pain in my feet and some swelling. My brother in law bought me some magnetic bracelets for the ankles. I wore them all winter and then thought, "These things don't do anything". A month later I had swelling, soreness to the point that I could barely walk. I remembered the magnets and have been wearing them ever since. My feet are much better.I don't know why this works for me, but it might be worth a try if it's your calves that are hurting.HelenFrom: schoenkaren <kmtrs1@...>Subject: Leg painsdominie Received: Tuesday,

Hi everyone. I am new to the boards here. I was diagnosed with FMS

over ten years ago. Two years ago I began having a constellation of

really nasty symptoms that were finally diagnosed after many doctors

and much pushing from me to be autonomic nervous system disorder. I

have been experiencing more and more leg pain over the last few weeks.

It doesn't feel like FMS. The legs are not sore to the touch but ache

something awful. I am going to a vascular doc soon to rule out PAD.

The more I see about ME though, I wonder if that is what is going on

with me. Do any of you know much about ME and know about leg pain with

fasiculations of the muscles and electric sensations?

I have been through hell these last two years with everything from

orthostatic hypotension, PVCs, seizure like symptoms, insomnia, weight

loss and then regain and innumerable tests and trips to specialists. I

am about at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Helen and Dominie. Actually, I sleep on a magnetized

mattress pad and have for many years. I appreciate your responses.
