HI everyone..I am getting excruciating leg pains and they are driving me insane. It feels like someone is stabbing me and after the stabbing pains ease it feels like the worst post workout ache ever.
What causes this? I am in so much pain..it is almost unbearable. Any thoughts as to how to ease this WITHOUT painkillers? Thanks so much. Jess

Try rubbing a little peppermint oil on your legs. It won't solve the problem, but it will help

Belladonna 30ch (homeopathic remedy), also helps me. FWIW

Homeopathic: you can also try Arnica and Hypericum Perforatum -- but the best thing is to find an excellent naturopath -- not an easy task, but well-worth it!

One of these days, those a$$h0les who are putting profits before people are going to be forced to give in. Sooner rather than later, hopefully.

Jess. I really like magnesium optimizer by jarrow formulas. It has mag, potassium and tourine in it. When I was really bad, I would pop two before bed. Leg pains are often potassium. Can you stomach a banana or peanut butter. For that bruised post workout feel... I like topricin rubbed into the area (a homeopathic cream) If it is more neuropathy I like Neurogen cream (smells strong like lavaneder and other essential oils). But seems to really work. Also, CVS makes a an epson salt lotion that I like when I don't have time for a bath. I actually layer it with the topricin.
Feel better.
Oh...and lying with your feetup can help too. When mine were real bad I would lie on the floor with my feet up a wall or on a chair at the knees.
