It's been a long time since I posted on here,mostly because my computer has been a bit messed up. I am glad to be back again. I did get tested for lymes disease and it was negative. However, for the last 2-3 weeks I have been having severe leg pain. It hurts to sit, walk and sleep. It starts off from my inner upper thigh and upper back and moves down my left leg. I had an MRI done a few months ago and it was normal too. I am in pain so much, it takes away from my life. My skin burns on my upper thighs but the pain is mostly in the left leg. When I walk, I limp. I am 37 years old and I feel like I am 90 years old. We don't have medical insurance so it cost almost $70 everytime I see the doctor. I am going broke over this. My doctor finally decided to put me on lyrica for the nerve pain. I have to go pick it up from the pharmacy today. For the last couple of days, I have taken aleve. Sometimes I wonder if I dont have a tumor in my leg because of the pain in it. The pain starts off from my lower back and from my inner thigh so it hurts like the dickens when I sit. I also have cyst on both of my ovaries, the left side has one that is 5cm and the right side has one that is 3 cm. I go back and see the gyno dr in a month to see if it went away. Could I still have lymes disease? My gyno said I have nerve damage starting from my vagina and buttocks and now that is starting to hurt too. I am losing hope now.
