Please help me. I have had this pain for years. Docs thought it was RLS now they think it is tendinitis. The pain feels like growing pains. The pain is in the calves. I use to get my husband to put as much pressure as he could on my legs, it would hurt like hell while he was doing but it would stop and feel wonderful for awhile afterwards. Sometime the pain wouldn't come back. They hurt daytime or nighttime. Nighttime is worst cause I am trying to sleep. I will take a klopan, no help, whirlpool, massage, heating pad, ben gay, patches. Finaly, sleeping on the hard floor, which is not good for my rheumatoid arthristis or Oa. I am a 51 year old woman with RA, OA high Cholesterol, low thyroid and IBS. The pain in my legs hurt several years before i was dignosed with RA/OA.
Please help tell me what to do or who to go to for help. What they need to do to help my legs. During working hours when I hurt I will get up and strech and walk up the ramp slowey to try to get the pain out. I don't like taking a lot of the klonpan because it leaves me in a brain fog.
Thank you,
