Hello lupie family. I just want an opinion. Should I make an appointment with my rheumytologist with my leg pain or wait for my appointment in July 2nd for the neurologist? I have this leg pain constantly at night and sometimes all day. Pain reliever don't work for me. I just want to make sure nothing serious like blood clot around legs. My legs aching pain and not sure what to do anymore. Thank you all and I want to wish you all Good afternoon or evening. Hugs
Ask ur rheumatologist to I order u a nerve conduction study. I just had one for leg n feet numbness n pain. Found out the nerves in my feet are damaged. That’s y they hurt. Hope it’ll help u. Feel better 🙏❤️
Yes I would definitely make an appointment for sooner than that... also if you notice any changes on color, pain, any lines going up to groin area or extremities turning dark or black, extremely red in color go to Er immediately... they will make sure there is no clot ... I have leg pain all the time as I have osteoarthritis in my L4, L5 and in my sacroiliac joint which causes severe pain usually at night because I’ve been moving around all day and then laying still. It helps to sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees as it relieves pressure on the joints. They gave me Celebrex but I’m scared to take it because I was just diagnosed with colonic inertia. This lupus flare I’m in made that ten times worse and nsaids, opioids or any other pain meds aggravate it more and can make my intestines bleed so I try to do things that are natural. Sometimes soaking in a warm tub or heating pad blanket helps too.
Ha card I have fibromyalgia. I think that’s what causing the pain. Yes me too girl no pain meds works. I stop the gabapentin due too gave me side pain. I just rub cbd cream hopefully it will let me sleep tonight. Hugs ♥️🙏pray for both us good sleep
Hi! It can't hurt to ask your rheumatologists opinion at all, don't wait. blood clots will usually come with some other symptoms such as localized swelling and redness with severe tenderness or hard, cordlike bumps under the skin. Of course if your leg pain gets worse or you get short of breath or any chest pains, that's straight to the hospital RIGHT AWAl!! Get checked out and keep us posted. Hope you feel better, please get checked out!
Thank you Denise. God is good and listening 💕Amen
