For the past 3 weeks I have been having the most hideous pain in my left calf and knee cap. Sometimes it goes up to my thigh and hip. It feels like my muscles are being torn and burn like crazy. I started malic acid/magnesium, fish oil, cog10 and vit b 12. Pain meds help a little but wear off quickly. I actually feel OK as long as I'm moving, but God help me if I sit or go to bed. Not getting much rest from this which just brings on other Fibro symptoms! Anyone else having this - any suggestions? Thanks for listening. Don't know what I'd do without my Forum friends-Love

I have this as well, it is very painful nothing seems to work for it, it just goes away on my own. When I have mine I tend to think of sciatic nerve pain? Just because of the area that it is in. Goodluck to you, I hope that you leg feels better soon. Have you tried any warm or cold compresses?

You possibly could have some bursitis going on.  I will get that in my hips.  When my doctor checked me for it, he pushed halfway down the sides of my thighs and he had to peel me off the ceiling!  My thighs didn't hurt but he said the nerve runs down the leg.  And guess what?  Bursitis is common in fibromites.  mad

I noticed when I first started having my leg pain it was kind of all over the place. I would go lay down for a while and it would go away. Then I would get up and move around and a few hours it would come back. This was a couple of years ago.

So I finally asked the doctor I had back in January 2011 about it and told him my symptoms. He said it sounded like restless leg syndrome. I could hardly sleep at night because my legs felt like they were doing the cha-cha in my bed without permission. I got some medication for it and it works pretty good from time to time. But if I am really stressed out it doesn't work as well.

I hope you figure it out soon.
