New sympton= new pain= nothing they can do

So I never threw up in those early days, but what is up with my body? My leg pains went from sharp, running pains to this burning pain and feeling like someone was cutting into me with a razor. I called the orthopedist and he told me that this is a NEW problem! I am compressing a new nerve, which is the burning and cutting feeling. The sharp pain is still my siactic nerve, but this new, more intense problem is a brand new nerve that has decided it doesn't like this condition of mine. What can a girl do? The doc said to lie flat.....which is just great. He said not to stop exercising moderately since that will help me in many, many other ways but when the pain strikes lie flat with my leg on a pillow and that should help- which it does. But still.....

And we fly to CA next week for a wedding. Holy Moses I hope I can make this flight and trip okay. Sorry to complain, just getting fustrated...

I had the smae thing!! They told me.. AFTER AWHILE that it was probably my SI joint! They sent me to a Physical Therapist.. they did a few manuevers and excersizes (icant spell this late).. and discovered that was what it was.... Tell them to check to see if that is what it is... Good luck!!

oh jeez. Sorry Michele. That kind of pain in addition to the regular discomforts cannot be good. Just do what they say and hopefully it will relieve itself some. Feel better!

Sorry to hear you're even more uncomfortable now.

Definitely bring some music on the plane that might help you relax, and thank goodness you're flying 1st class

Michele I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I guess your little one is starting to test you already. Stay strong, hopefully it will get better soon.
