I am now on 15mg norspan patch, this is keeping the leg at a bearable level. I still have to fight the tugging and pulling 24/7 but it is not so severe that I want to end it all when the patch is on. They seem to have given up now and not trying anything else. I have arranged nerve conduction studies myself to see if it is nerve damage causing this, if so maybe a nerve block....I don't know.....but I have to take over my treatment now as nobody gives a shit anymore. I have started acupunture and reflexology to see if that helps. Still applying the oils that Shumbah recommends.......

The patch is not helping much now, getting bad constipation and sweats from it. I am going for first prolotherapy treatment today, nervous because it will be painful, but if it works I will be in heaven.
