Cramps in thighs and pain up to my waist

Hi! Yes I had excruciating pain in my upper thigh so bad one night that I passed out. My husband called 911 (thinking I had a stroke since I had gotten out of bed and was on the way to the bathroom when I fainted. Hospital said it was a fainting spell from pain ( which I knew because I do pass out with pain) After that first episode that terrible pain would occur every 4-5 months. My doctor said that the pain was due to neuropothy, which I had for 4 yrs at the time and resisted taking any drugs, he told me to start gabapentin, which I finally did. 100 mg in AM and 200mg in PM. I also take magnesium at night and rub magnesium oil on my thighs in PM. It has been 4 months since that terrible pain in inner thighs. Hoping that the gabapentin is doing its job and I do not have to increase dosage. Best wishes to you, I have been dealing with idipathic neuropothy for 8 yrs now, I feel neurologists are not interested in really finding the root cause of this awful disease. I have had an MRI of brain and total spine, neurosurgeon and neurologist said nothing there to cause PN. OH WELL! Again BEST WISHES TO YOU.......

‘They” are all trying to end the disease. It is extremely difficult as attested by all the people on these boards having different experiences and having to try multiple treatments. Can you imagine being the one who comes up with a solution!
Be nice, we’re all in this together.
Thanks
I totally understand where you are coming from!!
Same stuff as I have..
Continuous aching though not as painful ..
Gabapentin for me too but I resisted getting started in it for over a year..
I can sleep better at times and that helps hugely..
Also using aspercreme with lidocaine..almost nightly..
Very bright neighbor has shared a lot of ideas with me over the past year..Hes been an incredible
help because hes got a ton of physical issues and has done myriads of therapies to mitigate the pain..
A terrific fellow..
He has informed me that rapid
changes in barometric pressure
(up or down) can really initiate
great neuropathic pain..
I unfortunately have been confirming these bouts of pain
the past few months..
You might have experienced one of these rapid changes..
These changes can be a real bummer to people with neuropathy..
Kind of like feels like your body is
getting its butt kicked..
Seriously
Doctors and chiropractors have little time or knowledge to point
these things out.
One thing I have not learned how to do is learn to calm myself down regularly and another thing
eliminate things that will initiate
neuropathic pain..
Its so tricky for sure
Finding the origins of the cause
of neuropathic pain in the body
is currently out of medical sciences abilities..
Thats a huge problem also ..
Thanks for your contribution

Geez, Louse! I have often felt like I was on the verge of fainting but have never actually fainted. My pain gets so bad that my hands shake, it is difficult to stand or sit. I tend to suddenly jek or twitch when in bed. My wife has commented on this many times. I wonder how bad one hs to get before your docs take you seriously and dive deeper into the root cause and possible treatment of your pain.
