It does help and is very similar to mine, except I do have that *...@#$^&* sharp pain!! Hate it. When I go in to my pain management doc on 12/31, he will put "stuff" in my back in several places and I will be a new woman - for a while! Janice

I have been experiencing what I call a Charlie horse in the back of my thigh in my left leg (that is my good one) and it goes down the leg to my foot and causes my foot to turn in until the spasm is over. When I try to straighten it, I can't keep it straight it goes right back. It only lasts for a few seconds. It helps if I try to straighten out my leg as you would with a regular Charlie horse. The most of my discomfort is in my feet which I think is neuropathy. My feet always feel so cold they actually burn. It is funny though but they don't bother me at night when I go to bed I hope this helps.

When we talk about nerve pain, are we all talking about from top of back thighs down to bottom of calves? Or do you all have some other areas that are affected? Does it ever get bad enough that it makes you all down? Mine will do that-like a knife tearing down the leg. I just wondered if we all felt the same thing in the same areas. Janice
