Hi allycat

I can't say that Epilepsy itself cases the sort of discomfort you describe, but if you have injured yourself during a seizure and it has gone unnoticed then it may contribute to pain. I myself have a constant pain in my lower back due to a fracture I sustained a few years back. Healed okay but was so small was missed for a few weeks. If you get the same pains, in the same places and whilst doing the same things then it may be worth a visit to your GP to just check things over.

I doubt if epilepsy alone causes full body pain if on feet too long. As comment above, if you have injured yourself during a seizure or by another means, this can contribute to constant pain. After 39 years with epilepsy, with many seizures, and constant falls, no wonder I have back pain on a permanent basis! A check-up is always worthwhile.

I wondered where the pain is. I have now pain in my feet and legs. Doctors say may be neuropathy due to taking Phenytoin for a long period.

I wouldnt have thought so time for a visit to the doctors could be something else
