So, I consider y'all the experts in tricks to alleviate symptoms...
Anyway, I have rather wretched pain in my legs -- the pain is hard to describe; it's deep and burn-y and ache-y and thump-y; oh, I don't know how to really describe it; it makes me cry sometimes -- and the pain is exacerbated by walking (which I do regularly for exercise, despite the pain).
My doctor has me on gabapentin, but I am taking a low dose (200mg at bedtime) because my job requires mental acuity and the stuff makes me feel like I'm on drugs. It helps a tiny bit with the pain and buzzing. Sort of. It doesn't seem that useful.
So, does anyone have any tips for alleviating this weird leg pain? I have also tried stretching and flailing my legs around wildly, with no success. Yelling at and threatening my legs has also proven unsuccessful.
Thank you!
