lower leg pain...fibro or something else????

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've been having extreme pain in my left ankle and calf lately. I've

gone to a podiatrist and he gave me an injection of cortisone which

helped some, but he actually thought it may be fibro related. Also, he

wants me to wear shoes, all the time. Ugh...somebody else on hear said

they are barefoot babes too. I hate shoes...especially in the summer.

My left leg has always been worse than my right. This ankle leg thing,

has really gotten me down. I'm having a time chasing my 2 year old at

work and by the time I get home I'm ready for a Vicodin. There are

nights I'd like to just chew it off!!!!!!!! Oh, we have a family of

baby foxes living under the old barn in our yard...they are adorable.

Maybe I could have one of them eat my leg off...LOL....

, does the pain mostly occur when you are sitting down or trying to

relax? If so, that is restless leg syndrome and they do have meds out for

that.

Otherwise, try Hyland's Leg Cramp pills, they work wonders for me.

Hi ,

I too get really bad ankle and calf pain. The pain in my calf is mainly up

the outside of my leg. It was among the first pain symptoms I developed with

fibro. It's really limiting and hurts like the devil. I'm sorry that you get

it too.

I am a barefooter too. I had to start wearing shoes - ones that are good for

my feet not just any shoes - because of my hip pain. I guess it's been about 3

years that I've worn shoes in the house. I still hate to do it and now that its

getting warm, I'm cheating some - like right now. It really helps my hips, but

I still get the ankle/calf pain.

Hope yours gets better with shoes. The foxes sound adorable.

HI Marti,

I was in a hurry and just went shopping yesterday in moccasins, (my summer shoe

of choice, like going barefoot!) I went to 3 stores and I almost left my grocery

cart in the store and left. My ankle and calf hurt so badly I wanted to just sit

down and cry. I did make it home and hubby carried it all in and helped me put

it away. I have to dig through my closet and look for some tennies that I never

wear!!! Have a good Sunday.

Love,

/Mi
