A couple of weeks ago i posted about leg cramps which i thought may be related to the new birth control id been put on. Well the pain from what i thought was cramp has continued. Ive stopped the Loestrin to see if that made any difference, ive stopped alcohol and chocolate and ive upped my steps everyday ( walking is the only time it doesnt seem to ache). I put up with the strange cramp like sensation for about 10 days then was worried as it wasnt going away and panicked it could be a DVT, went to the doctors and had a check up. He was adamant its not a blood clot but couldnt give a definitive diagnosis of what the pain/sensation actually is. He asked if id had any back pain in the weeks leading upto it, No. He asked if id been laid up , yes with the flu 2 weeks previous. He said he thought it was something either to do with my back or nerve involvement. Well the pain has continued, the pain is worse at night after ive sat down and when im laid in bed. It feels like tingling crawling in my lower left calf and still with a cramped feeling in it, the tingling crawling feeling has also moved up my leg into my thigh, and i have a weird bubbling feeling every now and again in my calf. My knee feels tender in the front and behind. I keep getting a hot feeling and a cold feeling in my leg too, It helps to walk and thats what i have been doing to try and ease it.
Today i bent down and picked up a crayon my grandaughter had dropped and something twinged in my back and now i have pain across my back which is similar to the sciatic pain i used to get but a bit higher up. As soon as i try to turn to the side its more painful.
Im taking different vitamins that are supposed to help with muscle,joint pain etc, have been on these 3 weeks now.Also taking 30,000 Vitamin D a week. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of anything similar?
Feel like I've lived at the doctors on a nearly weekly basis for the last 3 months, sort of hoping whatever this is will ease soon so i can feel brighter... however with all the weird new symptoms occuring its like a never ending journey. There are so many other things going off symptoms wise too i feel like im losing the plot!
