Ugh, what now!

Sometimes I just want to take my body out back and kick it's butt.

I have a sore and infection in my toe, which is problematic with my diabetes. So Ive been treating it with some antibiotic cream and wrapping it in gauze as well as taking 500mg of cephalexin 3x a day. I'm not suppose to walk on it with shoes because off the pressure that puts on it. Ok, so I'm staying in socks and off my feet as much as possible.

Now I have this burning sensation in my leg. The upper part of my left leg in the front. It initially feels like liquid going down my leg then it feels burning. It's strange. The first time I felt it I pulled down my pants to look for blood, because I thought it was hot blood running down my leg, but there was nothing there. It's a very strange sensation. The other day while just waking up and still laying in bed, I felt it and it was a searing and burning pain in my leg.

I don't know what this is and I don't need it. So I'm going to wave my magic wand and make it go away! Or, I'm going to have to bring it up to my doctor at my next visit. Boooo.

Amar, do not delay and call your Dr asap! With your medical problems, I would not wait for the next Dr visit at all. So get on the horn, and get in there. Its only my opinion, but I'm sure others here will agree with me on this.

Amaristo...

Welcome to our group here... sorry you have all the issues that you do, but glad that you found your way here. In the few posts that I've read of yours, you seem to have a great sense of humor...even despite all you have going on. Anyway, glad you are here!

I'd have to agree... w/ your medical issues... I think you should probably give a call to your doctor. When do you next see him? If it's more than a couple of days out...I'd probably call if I were in your situation. What do you think??

Keep us posted on what's going on! Take good care... Tina

Thanks for the concerned replies. I'm hoping it's nothing. But hoping doesn't always work. I once hoped for a puppy as a kid and all I got for christmas was a motorized tank! Tanks don't save me from being trapped in wells. Silly parents. It's alright though, I got them back and terrorized them as a teen.

But back to me, I made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow, so he can tell me it's nothing and charge me money. At least I can say hi to my cousin who works in his office. Seriously though, I hope it's nothing. I don't need more funtimes.

I take 300mg of lyrica for neuropathy in my feet. I also take some pain meds for the pain that comes along with the neuropathy in my feet. Thus far I have had no problems in my legs or anywhere else from neuropathy. And it doesn't feel like that type of pain in my feet. I don't know though.

Nope, no lower back issues. I've never (cross my fingers) had any back issues. And my amazing self diagnosis research did pull up mostly back issues related to this style of pain. Particularly an inflamed or pinched nerve. Dr Google can be wise. On the other hand, I feel nothing wrong in my back and haven't done anything particularly strenuous with it. So I don't know,

I know back issues may be hard to diagnose so I'm hopeful that my doctor has some other ideas. I need to put some research into side effects of some of these drugs I'm on. I'm already unhappy with this tramadol and need to stop taking it. It seems after it gets in my system enough, it makes it more and more difficult to urinate. Not a good feeling. So who knows what is going on elsewhere.
