leg aches

[muppet62]

Hi I have numerous health conditions, the main one id CRPS, which I have had for over 8 years, it is quite well controlled and I have an understanding GP so I know if the pain gets worse I will be able to get help and support, the main thing now that is causing me great discomfort is deep aches to both my legs, so far nothing has helped, it seems to be I get in bed at night and my body goes "got Ya" and there is nothing I can do, any one else have this? and any ways you can suggest to help it? thanks

I have got CRPS in my legs, and while I can control it to an extent (with pain killers), it is definitely worse at nights. The only thing that helps, even slightly, is Capsaicin cream. If you use it you must follow the directions and instructions from the manufacturer, otherwise your pain will be even more intense.

Worth seeing a chiropractor.

Hi

I was in hospital after a bad fall at work, that aliong v with a new diagnosis of CPRS, I was just about crippled. I'm already on 100mg of MST daily, plus up to 40mg of breakthrough morphine. Add in 300 of pre gablin, and 150 of Amytriplaline, I just about rattle, the pain is barely manageable, I do know where you're coming from, I certainly reccomend the Amytriplaline. I do hope you get your pain under control.
