Hi Jodi:

For me, I have more of a burning, electrical buzzing,

type pain which is constant for me -it involves

especially the tops of my feet and ankles, and this

will radiate up into my calves, and sometimes will

also involve my knees and thighs. Sometimes my feet

and calves also have a type of numb feeling as if

sensation is less somehow, but there is still pain.

Weird. It's a very uncomfortable sensation, and causes

me to move my leg position often - sitting or laying

down. I think mine is due to fibro, or restless leg

syndrome in a way, but the pure and constant

pain/ache/numbness sensation is really strange.

I take Lyrica for nerve pain, and this has helped to

decrease especially the severe night leg pain I have.

I still have nights when the leg pain will just shoot

into my calf and bring me upright because of the pain.

It is a shooting and burning pain at night more than

the constant achy feeling during the day.

Do you have fibro too? If not, please have this

checked out by your doctor. It could be that, or

somehow is related to another immune system problem,

or in your case could just be your arthritis causing

it. However, it is definately something that you

should bring up to your doctor and have checked out on

your next visit, if not sooner.

Hope this helps - Kathe in CA

Thanks for responding, Jan. My pain is usually worse when I am lying

down or sitting.

In the first year of my RA experience, I had trouble with my calves. They

started hurting and cramping bad enough for me to go to the doctor. My

regular doc wasn't in, so I saw a 'stand-in' from Dallas. As soon as I

explained why I was there, she had me strip to my skivvies and walk across

the room on my heels, then on my toes. Her diagnosis was that Prednisone was

causing it, and ordered me to stop taking it for 3 days. Of course, I was

new to this stuff and knew if I went off the Prednisone, I would hurt

something awful. I did as she said and didn't hurt much more than normal.

After that, when I felt the calf cramping, I would stop Prednisone for a

couple of days without any problems, and the cramps would go away.

Even now, 16+ years later, if I get too hot or work my muscles too hard, any

of my muscles will cramp, fingers, elbows, back, feet, whichever feels like

it. I don't even stop the Prednisone any more, just put up with it, it'll go

away.
