Hey nutpn don't take what I am saying wrong, but Chronic sounded understanding to your question and you are in a PAIN-MANAGEMENT FORUM so most people here are going to expext most people here to be on some kind of opiate.  If you are not on any or addicted to any pain meds then why did yu gets so mad that Chronic misunderstood what you meant about walking with a CANE.  If you are in so much pain and need pain meds then you have nothing to be worried about and if your friends that you are so worry about should understand if you were taking pain meds.  If they did not understand PAIN or your PAIN, then they are not your true friends right? next time you should be thankful that Chronic replied to your post and that some people out there care unlike your friends that your so worried about.

Just a guess but my mom had something very similar and had struggled with addiction with...well...pretty much everything. It ended up being a neurological disorder but was never able to get a significant diagnosis because she passed away very unexpectedly at 53. Methadone toxicity was cause of death, her body had taken enough abuse. She had many other health issues hep-c, lupus, fibromyalgia, and alcoholism/drug addiction.

I would see a neurologist ASAP and also I would check to make sure your heart is in okay situation. Get a doppler done on your leg to check for blood clots. Definately great you are in therapy! Stick with the positive attitude, thats the hardest challenge of all, GOOD JOB!!! I do understand your addiction, I was cane addict myself a few years ago. One day at a time!
