Random Pains

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it normal to experience random pains flitting here and there? So for example I’ll just be sat watching tv and I’ll get a sharp pain in my rib, then a zap in my leg, a sting in my toe, a twinge in my hip and the saga continues 😂 hopefully I’m not going mad and someone can relate!

The same! I fell what you all explain plus the burning sensation on my feet to the point that i can not touch the sheets. I place some pillows under my leds to make my feet hung without touching anything.

I feel those same pains and wonder if my mind is just hyperactively focused on discomforts but it’s not! It’s real and very exhausting. Try the hot soak and massage your legs with a rich hydrating lotion/cream like Regina62 mentioned! I’ve taken tramadol (pain med), tizanidine (muscle relaxer), gabapentin (blocks nerve related pain messages from getting to the brain ), or Benadryl to help ma sleep. Sometimes one works and the next time not. If I use a tens machine on tense shoulders I sometimes get distracted from the pain in my legs and can fall asleep. Trial and error to find what works for you. Def tell your doctor. 💜💜💜

Yes! It's lupus. At first I thought I was crazy, but then my doc asked if I had that! Imagine my surprise!
