Why Does My Leg Hurt in The Middle Of The Night?!


Question: Why Does My Leg Hurt in The Middle Of The Night.?
About every month or two I wake up in the middle of the might and the bottom half of my left leg hurts so much that I want to scream and it makes me writhe in pain.
What is it and how do I stop it from happening.
Please, Help....

Thanks, HannahHealth Question & Answer


Answers:
I have the very same problem and have both arthritis and a herniated disc L4/5 in my lower back from a fall I had many years ago. I had leg pains from childhood as well that made me cry at night but, revealing my age here, nothing was known about childhood arthritis back then. That was supposed to be for old people. I was always diagnosed as a put-on just wanting attention! That hurt almost as bad as the leg pain. Now, I am told to turn on my side, the one in pain, and draw into a fetal position to relieve the pressure. My doctor also has me on Naproxen for inflamation and Lyrica for pain. Very large doses! Neither he nor I want back surgery. He chooses therapy which is painful and with the weather cold as it is now I am refusing that so he is just medicating me until the weather is warmer. Rain and cold temperatures effect your pain if this is your problem. You need blood tests and an MRI to be sure. Don't just bare the pain. Get it checked out because it begins to effect every aspect of your life! j5barb Health Question & Answer
