Been getting these pains running down my
legs (front thighs) and at times nearly to
my ankles. Have been to several doctors,
had mri nothing found which would cause
the pain. Mostly get the pain at bedtime
or when sitting, like in chair or in car
(passenger) have had in the past long term
back problem (back-pain) but this new pain
appears not to be related. Doc's want me
to see a "pain - management" person, but
i'm not ready for that. Any advise...

My wife had chronic pain. We found a
natural therapy that helped dramatically.
Please send me a private message or email
and I will tell you more.

Hi there...Have you seen a rheumatologist?
They may find a reason for your pain. I
was having severe pain in my legs and
hips...I was diagnosed with an autoimmune
disease after having some very specific
tests done by the rheumatologist.
Good luck...I wish you the best,
ladybrannon

Ladybrannon,
can I ask what your other symptoms are?
I have recurring pain in what I think is
my sciatic nerve--it radiates down threw
my leg sometimes to my ankles. I have had
periodic joint pain in my hands for as
long as I can remember, but I htought it
was caused by too much keying at work.
When I was pregnant, I had such a hard
time iwth my sciatic nerve that I could
harldy walk my first 3 monhts!
More recently, I had pain in a joint in my
foot that was so stron it sent me to
urgent care. After initial testing, I saw
my regular doc who indicated that I had a
slightly elevated levels of inflammation
in my connective tissue which might
indicate a non-rheumatoid type of
arthritis or possibly lupus. If I
exercise regulary, I have zero pain so I
just decided to move on wtih my life and
not see a rhuematologist. For the past
week, i've had pain radiating thru my leg
and it doesn't hurt at all during
exercise, but any other time I can only
alleviate the pain w/celebrex.
Since you have similar pain and you have
an auto-immune disorder, wondering if I
need to go back and get checked out
further?

I read the message
by LadyBrannon about leg pain. I have
intense all over thigh and calf pain. I
have been seeing a rhuemotologist for over
1 year. The only test performed are blood
test which only show an elevated SED
rate. It was 41, now down to 29. I have
changed my diet to reduce inflammation,
such as no white breads, white pasta's,
white sugar etc. Many doctors have
sugested Lupus, but nothing definitive.
Can u describe your leg pain and what did
the doctors say it was exactly. What
symptoms were u having that concluded
doctors in diagnosing you. What tests were
preformed. I have had many symptoms for
years. pleurisy attacks, blood vessels in
my legs burst and formed red & brown
blocthes under my skin, migraines,
intense head paid on top & back of
head. Upper thigh numbness, itching and
needles. Hand finger stiffness, too many
issues to mention. Things come & go
and never return, but it one new problem
after another and I'm tired of assumptions
and pains with no diagnosis.
This is to anyone who has been recently
diagnosed with an auto immune condition
ans who may have had the same symptoms.
