Hi All - New Here - Frightened And Frustrated Posted: 08-02-06 22:43pm
I have had leg pain for about 2 months
now. It is not a consistent pain,
sometimes feels like a muscle ache (like
from running or excercising too much)
sometimes like a sharp pain - does not
distinguish between the legs - sometimes
it's the right, sometimes left, sometimes
both. First time I got it extremely bad,
I went to the er - they tested for dvt and
ran d-dimer - negative.
Went to my doctor, she ran tons of muscle
blood tests, had an mri of the head and
back - both came back negative. Had
x-rays of back negative.
Had the nerve conductor test - negative.
Nothing is showing up on the tests and now
my Dr. Is sending me to a rheumatologist
for further testing and evaluation. I am
getting nervous and frustrated.
At times, I am relieved when I feel pain
in my lower back on right side because I
think maybe the pain is radiating down my
legs and that is the cause. Other times,
I feel like I am destined to go on not
knowing forever. It's making me anxious,
depressed and scared.
Has anyone else ever experienced this and
found out what it could be?
