Leg pain

[Reader103]

Good morning, the back of my thighs get painful it is like a continuous ache. I also get an awful pain similar to cramp up the whole of my calves during the night often. Does anyone else get similar pains. It’s sometimes difficult to know what is MSA related and what isn’t. Thank you

Hello. I know exactly what you mean by not knowing if it's MSA or not. It's tempting to put everything down to MSA when really it may be something else. Jackie never experienced leg pain as you describe but did have some discomfort. She always slept on her side and found sleeping with a pillow between her knees helped considerably.

Others may be able to help more.

Take care, Ian

Hi, my friend had this day and night, it was so painful for her sometimes. We tried a number of different medications ( I'm sorry I can't remember the names of them) but also manoeuvring on her side with a pillow between her legs helped. Maggie couldn't move herself once in bed so we used slide sheets to get her in a good position. I'll have a good think about the medication and let you know.

Caroline.
