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.......

I’m glad the patch is helping a little, any side effects from it?hope you get some more answers 😊

in reply toNanpat

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.
