Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Hi timo, YES to the back pain issue. I woke up for about a week with low back pain. Very near to the kidneys, i assumed i had a kidney infection.At the same time i was also retaining water. After a few days, my pt suggested that maybe the pain was from the retention. I slept one night with a heating pad on the lower back, wore a depend, woke up soaked and the pain began to subside. I also do not have very much feeling in my legs. All my tests with pins , i felt nothing. However my hands are worse.i joke that i don't need potholders or fireplace accessories anymore. The family gets angry. I have alot of scars on my hands from this(burns). On the upside, now that i can't feel my legs, i am finally going to get a tatoo around my ankle. I didn't think i could put up with the pain before. Hope Anne is OK karen Lower backpain Hi folks, is anyone familiar to pain in the lower back and legs? Each morning when Anne awakes she feels a terrible lower backpain in the spine and also has difficulty to rise. It seems as if she doesn't feel her legs anymore. She says that it feels as if they take a biopt continuously. Our neuro said today that pain in upper back and shoulders are more common.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Timo/Anne, Ned had/has pain in his lower back and legs. He takes an anti-inflammatory (Motrin or Naprosyn) for pain (tried Narcotic type pain relievers years ago, but they didn't help at all). Ned's back pain stems from a couple of things -- constantly sitting in a chair (years ago) and now lying in bed all the time. However, several years ago when he was still " up and about " he was in the hospital for about 10 days -- fever of >101 degrees of unknown origin (No pneumonia, no Urinary Tract Infection, etc.). It turned out that he had kidney stones, but not an actual infection that was picked up by lab tests -- took x-rays and a CT scan to show the stones! He eventually had to have lithotripsy. After that, his back pain was considerable less. If all else proves negative, they might want to check for k. stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
