Hi, I have a really weird problem. I have pain in my legs, it never goes into my feet or above my thigh but it can be either in the leg area or the thigh area or both and it can be either leg or both. It comes and goes at random times and lengths as well as strengths with no discernible pattern. My doctor is unsure what it is, but has refused to prescribe me pain killers (over the counter ones like tylenol, aspirin, and excederin haven't been effective at all) and is referring me to a physical therapist. The pain can be anything from ignorable, to strong enough to wake me up at night. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting down, have my legs laid flat or not, or if I'm walking--the symptoms are not modified and this makes me wonder if a physical therapist can really help with this. Is my doctor directing me correctly, or should I consult a pain specialist or something?
