Tension along left leg
Posted: 05-05-08 07:12am

Hello all,
hope everybody if well,
I have a strong tension with little pain down along my left feet especially early every morning I still also feel pain after a couple of hours of sitting and when standing up its hard to straighten up before few seconds. I had L4 and L5 severe pain like 6 month ago and still recovering slowly until now. I practice some little walking and floor exercises every couple of days and stooped all medications long time ago. I think I should recover faster and this tension is really annoying. I would appreciate some ideas on thing to do and get better faster.

Thanks

Robert

Hello Robert,

Patience with onesself is most difficult I know. However, it just takes time for the body to heal.

I commend you for not taking pain medications.

Robert, what disturbs me is that in your post there is not indication that you have had x-rays or MRIs. I hope your doctors have requested these for you so that they can better analyze your problem.

Also, I would highly recommend that you seek the advice from at least two spinal surgeons.

Let us know how things go for you.

I feel tension down along all the time very annoying but I noticed when I sleep well

hey all,

I was feeling some strong tension in my left leg with some burning in in the front right just above my right hip so i travelled half a day and visited my doctor he gave me two medicines Dexa Tresortil and Neurontine Gabapentin 300 mg for two weeks and should see him back again.
Just wondering about Neurontine if anyone took it before i hear it is super
but anyway i ll wait and see how it gets

cheers

Hello Robert,

Glad to read you have had MRIs.
