I have a lump on the outside of my lower right leg towards the front. It doesn't bother me at all until I accidentally bump it. Then it sends a pain like an electrical shock down through my foot that brings me to my knees. Any ideas what it could be?
View 1 RepliesLower Back Pain / Numb Lower Legs
I have had lower back pain for months now which goes hand in hand with numb lower legs, pain and discomfort really bad in the morning when waking, so much so I get up and have to stretch on my exercise mat to get relief. The veins in the lower legs in the morning really stand out. I saw the doctor who said it was lower back pain causing the numbness in the legs but the circulation seemed ok. I wanted a scan to see what the problem is as the pain can be bad, but he said they don't do back scans no point? The pain is often bad and I sit with a hot water bottle. I am 60 years old.

I am currently on nexplanon. I got it put in on June 2014. Ever since December 2014 I have been having intense lower abdominal pain. It hurts if I try to walk or sit up. It hurts to pee. It feels like a lot of pressure where my female organs are. It's more painful at night and when I'm suppose to have my period. I haven't had a period since September 2014. I spot dark brown/black stuff. I am always dizzy and have headaches I don't know what's wrong. I'm hoping my doctor will let me get an ultrasound.

Have had PMR for 18 months, down to 5 mg. pred/day, just bumped up to 6 mg. in an effort to mitigate pesky edema in lower legs, ankles and feet. Me: 65 yo. male in Florida.
Edema is gone in AM, before rising, then gradually increases over the day to a 1+ to 2+ grade (moderate, when pressed with finger a 2-4 mm depression remains for 7 to 15 seconds).
Had Hands and feet involvement pre-prednisone, no apparent joint degradation from RA, not diagnosed with RA. Rheumies have given me blessing to make minor adjustments in dosage and taper to mitigate symptoms (you know what I mean).
Any out there have experience with this particular manifestation? How did you deal with it?
Thanks to all in this group. I may have not said it before, but you who contribute often, selflessly, with considered information. are a stalwart foundation to those of us in the silent majority.
General :: Burning In My Feet, Legs , Arms And Hands
I am a 40 year old male about 30 pds overweight. I developed sixth nerve palsy in February 2014 and it finally cleared up three months later on its own? In July 2014 I started burning in my left arm and hand. As time has went by until now the burning has got worse in both feet and legs up to the knee. I also burn in both arms and hands. I burn across my chest and left shoulder also some. I have had several blood test, MRI, nerve electro study. The Dr. Found that I failed my oral glucose tolerance test twice and a skin biopsy showed small nerve fiber damage. I am currently on metformin 500 mg 2 x a day and gabapentin 300 mg 3 x a day. The gabapentin doesn't help. I have taken lisinopryl hctz 10- 12.5 mg and citalopram 20 mg for several years, could the burn come from these medicines? Is it because of diabetes 2, even though my a1c has been only between 5.6 - 5.9? Any ideas on the cause or what to do?

View 3 RepliesRestless Legs Syndrome :: Feet Jerk While Sleeping
I'm wondering if anybody else out there is affected by RLS in the same way I am. It's very specific. Only when I'm falling asleep, my foot will jerk, sometimes rapidly, followed by the whole leg making a violent jerk. There is no sleeping thru that. Once it starts, I know I'm in for a long night because it does not stop. Even if it does, then the other leg will start doing it. (There is that creepy-crawly sensation a microsecond before the jerks, but I can't stop it from happening.) This started in the early '80's with mild episodes 2 or 3 times a week but has increased strongly over the years.
I have incredible empathy for anyone suffering from this affliction / curse and pray daily that the true cause will soon be identified.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome :: Edema In My Legs And Feet For Over 6 Months
I went to the primary doctor and he gave me a diuretic and said it's the fibromyalgia. I ended up in ER for chest pains in February so I didn't know if it was some relation to the situation. I now got into the Rheumatologist on Friday and she says it has nothing to do with the Fibro. Any input anyone?

View 12 RepliesLower Back Pain With Inflammed Nerve
For a few years my problem has been creeping up on me. Recently, it has become hard to remain standing much less walking. So I finally broke down and went to my doctor. I've had an xray and a MRI, with nothing coming up. I've seen two doctors and my current one gave me a shot in my back that gave me a decent amount of relief for a few weeks. So he set me up for physical therapy. I did that for about three weeks. The basic pattern was that when I usually left for about a good hour or so, I'd feel great. Then the pain and tightness would return and cripple me. So now I'm scheduled for a Radio Frequency Ablation. Which my doctor said will give me significant pain relief for up to 18 months or longer. So now I'm just waiting for my insurance to approve the procedure.
About a month ago my doctor wrote a long letter to my employer allowing me to work from home. I do have medication. Tramadol but if I take two it halves the pain but I still can't walk in a few minutes and on top of that the medication slows me down. If I take three, It puts me to sleep. Then out of nowhere last week, I got a new job. Clearly I haven't told them about my back problems. My start date is three weeks from now and I fear that I might not get insurance approval before then. So I'm debating trying to hit the gym and lose some weight. My doctor said that may or may not help. I am a bit overweight now due to depression and other reasons.

View 2 RepliesUndiagnosed :: Numbness In Groin And Lower Legs
I've been having numbness in my testicle and groin area since having a colonoscopy about three weeks ago. The groin will get so numb I can barely feel my rectum area and occasionally I have numbness also in left or right leg from the knee down to the feet. I also have a dull pain in the testicles whenever I urinate while sitting. When either leg is numb it actually affects the way I walk. I had a CT Scan last week and it showed bulging disk. Doc wants me to do another CT Scan tomorrow of a different angle. Any clue to what might be going on? I also have arthritis in just about every joint.
