Hi up until 16 months ago. I was an avid walker, loved wooout and the outdoors. Suddenly after a walk I started having lower lumbar issues and swelling/inflammation that never goes away. I have had 2 ablations, epidural, steroid injections and still no change. Then 4 months ago I started nightly leg cramps for 5 weeks. When that stopped I started having extreme sensitivity to fabric against my legs and to heat, and terrible pain along my shins on both legs. I was told that the chronic back pain let to this. I do not want more injections. I do not want the Gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta. Does anyone here know what I could do to help with this leg pain and sensitivity?

Did you have MRI's of your spine? What did that show? I am using PEA and ALA supplements currently for nerve pain from tarlov cysts. Not sure it would help your situation, but maybe worth a try. You could try larger doses of magnesium also to help with cramping. I use mag citrate or mag glycinate. Also cramp bark herb can help if you're trying to avoid Rx muscle relaxers.
