Leg pains, lower back pain which is kinda new I think anyway, and the pain in my neck and arms. I have had a craniotomy 1991, new MRI says it is good, the issue is the cyrnix and neuro doc said my brain is too big, 4th ventricle is enlarged and holding fluid, I forgot the word she used to describe it. I also am feeling very nauseous this morning.
3 AM woke up to bad leg pains, could not sleep walked around took Tylenol and went back to lay down, slept some 5 am up again to get honey off to work, could hardly walk without it hurting so bad. Back to sleep at 6 AM, 9AM up and hurting worse than yesterday. I hate to sit at this computer chair, however laying down hurts also. Yesterday I had 3 grand babies, keeping me pretty busy, more active than I have been for the most part. Now is that why I am hurting so bad today. Does increased activity make this worse?? Anyone else experiences have shown this more pain with more activity? Posted on 09/14/09, 11:09 am |

Yes pain is definetly worse with activity. Anytime I do much of anything, end up paying for it for a day or two. Today for instance the pain has been bad, paying up for my camping and horseriding trip, which was wonderful by the way. My horse behaved and was almost perfect the whole weekend. Its almost like he knows. I did fall out the camper door the first day there, but fortunately only bruising and scrapes. Did not hurt my neck. Good luck and keep in touch. My decompression surgery is actually in the morning.

Well, thanks for your input. I was wondering seems like I am noticing more now that I know what is going on, used to just chalk it up to hard day.

I have not had any meds, I will add that one to my list of questions for doc. Has it worked for you?
