Q: Pain In Legs When Gassy...

I have a question: i've looked everywhere for an answer; i've asked my Dr., several drs about it and they all think i'm nuts; my dad has the same problem, so perhaps it is a freak genetic thing...
When I have gas, sometimes I will get incredible pain in my legs, usually the right, and mostly from hip to knee... It feels like my leg is made of lead and is on fire, especially in the upper thigh and around the knee... Occasionally the pain will extend further down the leg past the knee, but most it is hip to knee...
Passing gas relieves the pain.
Sometimes it is completely unbearable.
It reminds me of a more way more intense version of the leg cramps (or growing pains) I used to get when I was a child.
I wonder if it is a nerve getting pinched in my spine or prehaps the siatica (pardon the butchered spelling) or something along those lines...
As I said, i've talked to my Dr. About it, and other drs too, and they have all said the same thing, that it is impossible... Well what the heck is causing the pain then... It only happens when I have gas (and not always) so it has to be related somehow...
Can anyone help explain this?
Thanks,
sheila :cry:
