woke up this morning at 4 am , legs killin me, took hot bath, helped a little. right leg been numb and painful since yesterday. I am to be at work at 9am this morning in a small county and am stationed next to the hospital, which is also small. called my new neuro/ms specialist yesterday to try to get in earlier because it seems that my symptoms have increased and the last week or so. nurse there advised me to get CBC with differential and a UA because an infection can make symptoms worse. so when I was up this early decided I would visit the ER to get eval and blood work instead of waiting till next week to get test results and treatment started and have things get worse in the meantime. so here I am. peed for them (yeah!!! that in itself is a feat!) had blood taken and doctor has seen me. wants to do a doppler on right leg to rule out blood clot, and of course see what test results are.....so here I sit waiting.....btw MY LEG HURTS LIKE HELL!!!! ...okay a good scream always helps...

HI there Rbear66,
One thing the Dreaded antibiotics did for me - I had a mild UTI (I ache so much & gums all infected I didn\'t realise!) Wow - I can now pee with impunity and so far have no pee -ed myself rushing for the \'loo either (had to be some good come out of 3 weeks feeling so dreaded!_I\'ve just updated my Firefox Browser (took over 1hr.) & I think they have included automatic spell check - I spent all spare time at Tech. in \'04 trying to disable the bloody things - now it\'s back! Glad you were able to get into ER (Congrats. - I\'d rather die than go there in this city) - does your leg pain come & go, or go into muscle spasm? - it\'s a bit mystifying to me - but it\'s a mimic of a disease. Hope your days go well: no big deal exercise now! Fond regards JaneD.
sorry you are feeling bad, i know how those leg pain can be, if you thing it mick be spasms you could try, 1tsp of vinegar that helps me some times. hope you come out ok.
