pain in leg with swelling Posted: 01-07-08 05:46am
Just randomly a few days ago I started
getting this horrible pain in my leg, I
thought maybe I twisted a muscle so I
dealt with it, but pain makes me very
pissed off. But I control pretty well.
Then this morning I woke up and my entire
leg was swollen, and my foot too, and it
hurts even more, and if I try to put
weight on it, it hurts so bad, I can't
even describe it, it makes me have tears,
but I deal with it. Because I can't afford
to go the doctor or hospital right now,
I'm waiting on my Medical insurance card
to come in, as soon as it does I'm goin'
for a doctor immediately. I tried some
weird technique I read about online, its
called Jesus' Cure or somethin' like that,
I forgot its real name, but it said I can
use the technique to pull electric energy
from my chest, and use it to heal my leg,
so I tried their technique, and to no
avail.... it didn't get better. It still
hurts. I asked God to help me, for a
minute I felt a tingle in my leg, I was
thinking that god healed it or something,
then out of no where its back. My leg
feels like I had done something bad to it,
like a bad sprain, or maybe a fracture,
but I've never broken a bone in my life,
and I've done some wicked stuff when I was
a kid. But I didn't do anything, lately
I've been very lethargic, because of my
career, I'm a Graphic Design Artist, and
partly, I didn't care, because I love my
job.
But darn it, I want the pain to go away,
but I dunno how to make it go. Does anyone
have any suggestions, or an idea on what I
can do? I'll try just about anything at
this point because I am pissed off, I hate
pain I hate it so much if it was a person
I'd smash it to bits with a sludge hammer,
then I'd flush it down the toilet! That
explains how badly I hate this pain!
Note: Regular Pain Medicine over the
counter doesn't work, and I hate taking
medicine in a pill form.
Note 2: I do not exersize much, so I tried
to do soem stretching and a bit of walking
anyways, despite the pain, and it got
worse, no help at all! I even broke a
sweat when I was done!
Please help me.

I'm sorry I can't help you more, but there
are over 150 reasons why your leg is
swollen. You should go to your doctor
right away and see about the insurance
later, as this could be signs of a pretty
serious health condition...and lets just
say that if you wait too long, it's not
going to matter whether the insurance
company came through for you or not.
Good luck!

I did go to the hospital, and I was
admitted for an entire week, and They told
me I have blood clots. I have 5 in my
lungs, and 1 in my leg. I just released me
yesterday, at 5 pm. So far things are
better, thats why they let me out. But I
have to keep taking Koumaden, its a blood
thinner. But even with medication the pain
is horrible, I'm trying to get all the
info I can get about Blood Clots, and what
else I can do to help myself. Can anyone
help me with that? I wanna get all of the
info I can possibly get, and study it, so
I can learn how to help myself best. I am
determined to get better, and fix this
best I can. But I need the info.
Thanks for any helpful messages someone
might reply with, I appreciate all of the
help, thank you so much!

pain in leg with swelling - pain meds? Posted: 01-30-08 11:20am
First off, let me say that I am very sorry
for your pain. I suffer too but for a
different reason - lumbar and cervical
fusions due to a car accident - resulting
in nerve damage.
I use oxycodone and roxicodone- also soma
to control my pain. Have you tried any of
those?
I was searching fo help for my condition
and saw your post - my heart and prayers
go out to you.
Best wishes,
Susie
