It's 6 months since my nightmare started and I can't stand it. I'm seeing many doctors for sciatica, a blood clot in my leg, weakness, and pain. I am weaning off Gabapentin so my leg pain is worse. I just got RX compression stockings and they hurt. I get about 5 hours sleep, wake up at 4 and can't go back to sleep. I'm dizzy right now but it hurts to lie down. My rheumatologist and PCP want me to get the nerve test that you get electrical shocks on my legs. I had that for my arms a couple years ago. How do people endure pain? I can only take Tylenol because I'm on warfarin. The Gabapentin helped but I can't stand side effects. I feel like I don't have a life anymore! Can anyone relate?
