Leg pain

[Starryeyes2]

I have been having a lot of leg pain in my right leg. It aches from the bu*t cheek down to my heel. What medications do any of you take to combat this pain? I can't take narcotics. I'm allergic to almost all of them. Any advice would be great! I'm miserable. I can't get comfortable.

Thanks everyone!!!

Thank you!!! This aching is making me crazy. I wish I could just pop my leg off like a barbie doll. Lol

My personal take on it is that it's spasticity.  Of course, when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right? ;-)

But spasticity manifests as you describe - a weirdly tight muscle that causes pain whenever you try to move the limb.  There are some ways of treating it without medication - stretching, heat, and massage.  But all these are temporary fixes.  I take 60 mg of Baclofen every day, and it helps most of the spasticity.  Every once in a while I'll get a spasm, which I treat with Xanaflex or Flexaril.
