Hi girls! I am wondering if I am dealing with trapped nerves by adhesions. I
even brought it up to my Husband, and my Dr. My Dr. gave me the look like
really??
I have horrible pain like a deep charliehorse grabbing my left thigh and
squeezing really hard along with numbness, needles and pins feeling. I
haven't kept up with the site very much the past few months as I had
shoulder surgery and my son has been very ill. I finally saw my Dr. last
week for my pain in my thigh. He put me on Gabapenntin, and prednisone. The
Gabipentine helps relieve the surface pain, but I can still feel it. I get
woke up from the intense cramping pain. I just feel like oh great, something
else to be sick with. My Dr. gave it a name can't remember it for the life
of me. I go back to see him in 1 month. I am very sorry to hear about what
you girls are having to deal with on top of the adhesion monsters. Hope you
can get some relief and feel better soon. Cheryl
