So I had a bad night with burning, pain and heaviness in my legs. Now 2 days later legs still hurt and feel like I can't lift them or be on them. And the fatigue and anxiety is worse dealing with it all not sure what to Do? I think that my legs are just getting weaker and not sure why.?

Your doctor didn't want to see you in the office?

SWEETCAT I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts, so forgive me if you have posted this. But, maybe you are in an exacerbation and need IV steroids. Have you called your neuro? If you've already had steroids, sometimes it still takes weeks for the exacerbation to end. Last year, my IV steroids had to be followed up with a steroid dose pack several weeks later.

SWEETCAT , I agree that getting in to see your neurologist would be a very good idea. Let us know how you're doing and what you learn from the doctor.

Get to the Doc! You obviously have an issue that requires their expert attention! If they can't see you go to the ER. Just my opinion.

@SWEETCAT- like all the other posts, I believe you are having an exacerbation.

But I would like to add, are you staying cool? Have AC? Drink lots and lots of water. Yes, I know, it makes you pee more, but only for a little bit and then your body and bladder get used to it.

Even with AC at my home, I find a cool wet washcloth around my neck helps keep me even cooler.

AC, water, SEE your Doc. !!

My leg problems are not quite the same as yours but no harm in trying what I did as I was desperate as the Doctors didn't have a clue. I am a great believer in Hydrogen Peroxide I just pour a small amount into the palm of my hand and just smooth it all over where my legs hurt do it as often as you like as the oxygen will get into your blood stream through your skin. After 3 or four days if you keep it up you should be feeling some relief. My problem was solved. Peroxide kills all infection - readers please remember that I could tell you a few stories of cures if you would like to hear them please let me know.

I get pains, cramps and burning feelings in my lower legs and feet as well so I use liquid Magnesium so I do exactly the same as I do with the Peroxide both of those ingredients have been a life saver for me. I don't use them together if you get relief from the Peroxide first give it a chance for about 3 days - then try magnesium later or vice versa.
