Yikes. I get it in the banding around my torso. Down my right leg, on the outside, from the top of the hip to the bottom of the foot, and some on the left foot too, but not nearly as bad. It gets bad enough that I want to check out some times. I have found that lyrica helps. And percodan. And now my pain doctor has me on cesamet and oxycontin just to keep me sane. And the cold: We just came through a -40 degree temperature spell – that was awful. I actually had to stay at home for a few days as my mobility was seriously affected. This morning it is only -20, so my legs are only half as bad. Lol. Janet From: Janice Nichols [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: December 19, 2009 9:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] Okay, I have another question. 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
