short and not so sweet, over the past few weeks if not longer my leg pain as gotten progressively
worse. (both legs and feet) it makes me think i've got restless leg syndrome on steroids. very painful
and unable to sit for any length of time. i get up and try to walk it off and do some stretches. between
that and the meds which don't touch the pain, AAHHH, i'm going nuts..
any body have any home remedies. any kinda of info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance....mark shakehead

I don't know any home remedies but I do know that. If you have started any new meds they could be causing RLS.

Magnesium bath salts, helichrysum essential oil, and nerioli essential oil in a warm bath. I use that and it feels great. You can also buy magnesium infused oils to rub on but I prefer the bath salts. Good luck finding relief outside of medicine. I always prefer home remedies.

Mark how long have you been on the morphine?

Are you prescribed a muscle relaxer? That should help.

Have you tried Lyrica?

hello everyone, thanks for the responses. i wanna say i've been on the morphine for atleast a year.
i do take flexeril for muscle spasms and it helps a little bit. i was tested for rls and it came back negative
i tried lyrica and had some bad reactions to it.(confusion, clumsiness)so i wasn't on that for to long.
i take nurinton 3 times a day 600mg morning and afternoon and then 900mgs at bedtime. to me it seems to work for awhile but just doesn't seen to be the same. i do see my surgeon who is still providing my meds til after i get my pain pump and then i will be getting refills and such from my pm.
it used to just bother me in the evening more so than through the day but lately is an all day deal..
thinking a med change might be i order here. well i just wait and see how things go monday. thanks again everyone. hope you asll have a good day...

Mark have you tried Lyrica, Neurotin, Cymbalta, Amitriptilene or Nortriptilene for nerve ain. These are the usual meds that get rx'd for nerve pain, as regular pain meds have little effect on true nerve pain.

Mark, my brother has Parkinson's and swears by a medication called Requip. Without it, he would go out of his skin. His legs are like RLS on steroids. The Requip works. If you have not yet tried this medication, it might be worth your while to run it by your doctor.

Good luck!
