Actually, madam, I think Indianprincess might be correct. You know about my back issue. My leg and foot started to go out and tighten up right before my back gave out. I didn't know what was going on until I read up on it a little for signs. Maybe you might need an adjustment or something. I think your vertfebra might be pinching your spinal cord a little and might have to be put back into place. Just my opinion though....just a thought to check... How are you by the way??? Anyone told you they loved you today???? Well....I will.....LOVE YOU MADAM!!!!!

It may help you.. I have a torn disc... good luck with it...

bone scan was done end of may i believe...was recently. the MRI was done june 13th i think.

GREAT!!! THAT is good news right there!

funny most people first mention something with the back....could possibly be that, wonder why they are not catching that though?

btw....i love you too pumpkin xoxoxoxoxo

i feel ur pain dude, goin thru it too. they gona do surgery on ya?

my first thoughts was mets to the bone or neuro but if you've had those scans you're in the clear for ALL of that!!! THEN...that leads me to back. Obviously even with experience we can't know. Have you seen a neuro doc that could examine your back for you?

this tightening of the muscle/tendons started just recently in the last month seems like just after i got here to indiana it got worse and is deteriorating pretty rapidly. went to walmart tonight to help byron get the kids supplies and i could barely make it to the car and we were only in there 20 minutes. i cant do stairs or steps any longer and its all i can do to get up and down when i sit because of the knees...just wish we could do somethign about that.

no...they want to try these blocks first...we'll see how it gos

i think it might be to much stress on ur leg

i get the pains u r discribing and i know it's cuz of my back. definatly get it checked...
in the mean time, hot packs or bengay might help reduce the tightning sensation

they're helping me Etrain... But it's a at least once or twice a year thing and for me till they found the right spot it's been 4 the last 3 were at the rate of one each month till July...

good luck dude

Well....I'd say it's normal to be concerned given your recent diagnosis. If all of your scans are up to date...it could be anything...arthritis, fibromiaglia, disc trouble...that just happened coincendentally to your other diagnosis.

spikes in blood pressure can cause that, if it feels like you have a "buzz" when it happens, they should test you for MS, it could also be dehydration that can cause the muscles to spasm like that.

i have some soma 350's which are muscle relaxers. my daughter sometimes lightly massages the foot for me to make sure circulation is getting to it since i cant really feel much there except the pulling sensations. i have a heating pad i will try that

i really appreciate everyone's imput and not to sound morbid here, but often it helps when others with problems come talk abotu theirs too...exchange ideas, etc...

thanks guys/gals xoxoxo

my hunch is musculo-skeletal alignment issues ... have you tried a chiropractor or a rolfer?

yw madam

If your thyroid is out of whack, it can cause your muscles to act that way too.

i drink plenty of fluids. ive been able to keep things down more than i could a few months ago, but i never had high blood pressure...ever, until recently. its been high each time we've checked it. i dont get the buzz feeling....but it is painful
