On the verge of tears it hurts so bad.
I have a medical condition which no doctor knows what it is and am having a flare up right now. The pain is the worst in my calves --- it's excruciating. It starts right below my knee at the start of the hamstring and goes to my achilles tendons on both legs.
The pain in my calves is a 10+. I also have pain elsewhere on my body but, it's not nearly as bad as it is in my calves. I just need relief.
This morning and now again tonight, I'm using a tens unit on my calves. For the most part it numbs the pain and it's working in my right calf right now --- i have the pulsing level up to 31 on both legs and on my right calf, it's numb, my left calf though, it's still hurting me. I can feel the pain right through the pulses but, I when I tried upping the level for the pulses on my left calf, it hurt way too much so i had to lower it.
I don't know what to do. I can barely walk. I can't take anything for the pain bc nothing works.
Tomorrow, I'm going for an acupuncture consultation. I don't know if they're going to give me acupuncture tomorrow, but, I sure hope they will. I really want to try it. I really need relief.
