I keep getting a cold trickling down the back and inside of my leg, sorry to be gory but it reminds me of getting up in the night sometimes with an overflow and the horrible instant where blood trickles down your log on the way to the bathroom. Does anyone experience that at all? I only feel it in my left leg?

Hmmm, kinda...it tied in with my sciatica I think. Was down the outside.

No sorry. I haven't had that. Maybe try massaging your leg and hips or even a hot bath to relax the muscles?

We are going to talk about sciatic pain etc on Tuesday, my gynae wanted me to see a neurologist so we've put the 2 together and I'm seeing a neurophysiologist at the pain clinic who will investigate my pain and numbness/loss of power in my lower half. Thanks for the feedback ladies!

Hey Cherry....
I havent been on in a long time but I had the same thing happening. My doctor determined after tests that I had inflamation of the sciliatic joints and nerves. He put me on Indacid and it's done wonders

Cherry, have you ever been on Lupron? I've been reading a ton on it lately and I don't want to blame every issue we have on Lupron, but I have seen many people complaining of side effects long after their treatment ended. If you search the side effects it has reportedly affected many peoples nervous systems and can causing numbing, tingling and that "foot falling asleep feeling", spinal cord compression and bouts of paralysis.
Just thought I'd toss it out there incase you want to look into it.

Hey Pam thanks for your response I'll put that to my doc when I see him. Rhody I've been on drugs of the same kind 3 times and I think they're all disgusting, Lupron is just the best known/pays out more to docs. I thoroughly hate em all. My ADD problems are definitely worse since I had the treatments. Thanks for the info I'll read your articles right away!

I have no idea if this is related or not, but I'm scared out of my wits with it! About a week ago, the toes on my left leg went numbish. When I say numbish I mean I could still feel them, but they were tingling and heavy, just like something feels when it's coming around from anaesthetic. I put it down to having cold feet and ignored it, but the next day it got worse. It crept up to my knee and I had these sharp, almost stinging pains in my shin.
This gradually got worse up until this morning when I woke with my whole right leg dead with pins and needles, and my whole left leg and hand with that heavy, numbish feeling. It's still there in my hand. I tried yoga to stretch out the nerves and get circulation going but no luck!
I've been putting off going to the doctor since I still don't quite have insurance over here (paperwork in the post) but it's driving me crazy. I'm having the worst panic attacks over this.
I'm wondering, could it be endo on a nerve? My period is due around next week so I'm curious. Has anyone had anything like this before?

I am finally catching up to some of these threads. I'm on spring break and have tons of time!
I really think that symptoms like these should be managed by a neurologist first to rule out anything like multiple sclerosis or circulatory problems. Then once those bigger issues are ruled out then you can start looking into other things like chiropractic care, endometriosis on the nerves etc.
Issues like numbness in the limbs that just keep persisting is concerning to me.
What has been the recent treatment for you Cherry?

Thank you so much Jenaya for your super fast response! It's a good feeling when you're feeling so worked up like I am. And also for directing me here, I did a quick search but I didn't see anything, odd :s It does sound a lot like what Cherry has been through, though the worst of it is when I'm laying down and my hips are ok. Almost all of the problems are completely my left leg too. Surprisingly I'm not in all that much endo pain, though my right ovary has been complaining a bit. Earlier in the week I could just change position and the tingling would subside a little, and I'd barely notice it during the day, but now it's persistant, and my hand is very worrying. I'll try and see my GP within the week and push to have further tests done. Cherry, did you ever get any results? I hope you're feeling better

hey tigerlily, do you smoke? do you get enough exercise? I'm not sure what else impacts circulation besides these two. For me at my worst, taking painkillers nightly, I'd have my hip pain (from endo) but also had arms and legs falling asleep and the only thing that helped was walking, breathing, moving around and (finally) getting off the narcotics really 'woke me up'.
I smoke though, and I'm just really sedentary on narcotics so makes more sense for me.... poor circulation plus being immobile plus smoking = fall asleep body

I don't smoke, I did for a year back when I was 16 to be 'cool' and regretted it ever since.
I have ME/CFS also so exercise is an issue for me, I do some gentle yoga occasionally but nowhere near as much as I should.
Weird feeling has spread to my face and gums now, I'm not sure if this is all in my head but I'm horribly dizzy now! Definitely seeing a doctor asap.
