Thanks. I think I've had less than two months of pain-free days in all that time. Maybe a little more. The good news is the pain isn't always excruciating. That's actually pretty rare when it strikes to the point where I can't move until it goes away. And even at it's worst it doesn't last long. Maybe 10 seconds or so. The bad news is it's always around in some fashion. There are certain triggers like about 95% of the time when I go from sitting to standing the pain is pretty bad. For some reason rolling over in bed is another trigger that sets it off.ughh. Sorry man..I can't even imagine 4 years of this.
I've had MRI's and nothing is showing on any of them. My latest doctor thinks what's going on is a nerve was somehow damaged to the point where it's sending pain signals down my leg regularly just because it thinks there should be pain. Kind of like how amputees sometimes feel their missing limbs, that type of thing. But who the hell knows. I didn't have any physical issues before so nobody can figure out what caused it in the first place. Now it's just trying to figure out some way to fix it.
