BLAHH! Thats how I feel. How long does one have to have pain for in order for it to be considered chronic.....cause it feels pretty damn chronic to me. Now the pain has moved into my other leg (it used to be only in the left)....now it takes turns and sometimes I feel it in both legs simultaneously. Occasionally it feels as if my leg muscles are all taking turns spasming....THIS SUCKS!!!! Im not really sure what to do anymore and I spend most of my sleeping time tossing and turning and crying. I am going to give accupuncture another week or so to do something and if not I think Im going to go see a neurologist. I really hope its nothing serious but the pain has progressed for the worse despite physical therapy, accupuncture, and a normal MRI of the hip and lower spine. GRRR!!! I wish I was healthy. I miss health. I was trying to stay positive about all this at first but im a worrier by nature and my mind is getting the best of me...the pain is effecting all aspects of my daily life, I cannot enjoy sleep, I cannot enjoy excercise, I cannot enjoy social activities....and Im becoming depressed. I really dont know what to do.

 

Other than my pain issue. There is not much going on. The new guy is still around but Im not so sure he is that interested. He doesn't make time for me. He is dealing with some personal issues and so  I guess forming a new relationship is not at the top of his list. I guess with my issues that Im dealing with, its not at the top of mine either.....but I like him so I was willing to make the effort. Only time will tell.

 

I hope it is warm this weekend. It will be something to look forward to

Sorry coco. I know how pain is. But yours is more mysterious than mine. I hope you do find a reason for the pain, but that it's nothing serious. You seem to have more problems with your legs since working. Can you take short-term medical leave (paid) from work? Perhaps if you had a few weeks off, things might improve.

That sounds like a good idea.

Sometimes the body just need to recoop!

I do not think that is a possibility. I did have a week off last week and the pain is worse when I am at rest...so it wasn't good for me to be laying around. Thanks for the support

Perhaps you do need to see someone else and get a second opinion. I ruptured a disk in my lower back and had to have surgery. That kind of pain is not fun, and it's not like you can't use your back! I know that there were a series of exercises they gave me and that helped somewhat, but mostly I just learned to deal with it. But if the MRI's are showing nothing is wrong, I definitely think you should try someone else because obviously something is wrong. Have you been given any muscle relaxants or pain killers? You shouldn't have to be in pain all the time. How about a cortisone shot? That might give you some relief too. Let me know how it goes!
