Re: sciatica or shingles..skin temperature

[Guest guest]

Liz...is your leg swollen at all?

Diane..42

I thought..well this pain in my leg is sciactica

The neurologist thought it could have been shingles with no rash, then they

were thinking it was sciatica

well, I thought I noticed when the burn happened or hurt, that the area of

the skin would be warmer than other areas of my leg.

I noticed it again this AM. My calf was warm to touch. I asked my daughter

to feel both calves, then tell me if she thought one was warmer. She said

yes, right here is warmer. Well that's the area that hurts. So I googled

it....and it seems that...it might be shingles with out the rash...or...maybe I

had

a small rash earlier, and this is that post herpetic neuralgia. Maybe scitica

dies that too.

I will ask my doctor.

Good morning my buddies...I am sending you all your favorite hot morning

drink by cyber waves...here it comes...Enjoy

Love

FYI - I had horrible pain on my face for a year and then I got the shingles

rash - so It may be shingles... With how are bodies are so out of whack -

you just don't know - the doctors were so surprised that I got shingles a

year after I had been complaining of this horrible burning pain on just one

side of my face. I did find that warm compresses helped and that cold

absolutely sent me through the roof...

Hang in there.

You might also consider Morphea - thickening of the skin (painfull swollen

skin usually on legs or arms)I occasionally get it on one leg (always the same

area) not neccessarily associated with Stills, but it could be!!!!

I know I'm jumping in the conversation kind of late but my Rhuematologist

said it was the fibromyalgia that goes along with still's. He told me that

the burning, heat and redness would come and go. Mine is usually down my

shins not my calves. It has been various other places now and then.

Try to moisturize every day from a thick moisturizer and or increase the

humidity in your home and....drink water more...and don't listen to me unless

you asked the doctor..My hubby gets dry skin in the winter..it drives him

nuts... He loves Italian food and I notice it seems worse on those

days...wheat..tomato allergy??

Have a good day Mike

Mike,

You need to get the body butter for dry skin from the Body shop. You can

get it only - get the larger size. It comes in a nut sent.. (like almond,

or something like that, but you have to get the dry skin one). It does

wonders to help reduce that dry, itchy sensation caused by stills and fibro.

I was shocked the difference it made for me since it is non prescription.

But it has to be the body butter and it has to be the dry skin formula...

To search for other ones, in the search field, enter body butter dry skin,

and it will find all of the ones that will help you.

I'd be really surprised if this stuff didn't help you if you put it on every

night.
