@judy1951 What non-invasive and invasive treatments have you tried? There are quite a few out there that might help you. Be blessed!

@jenatsky
I have severe lumbar stenosis with siatica and intermittent leg pain and numbness. I also have some vascular issues which cause leg and thigh pain.

@truyank you’re just like the rest of us. Physical ailment without a cause as yet. Sounds like peripheral neuropathy to me. I have the same except for the intermittent leg pain which I don’t have. Like Judy I’m fused L4-S1. Vascular issues is a whole other bunch of issues because decreased circulation to legs is a bigger issue. What are your plans going forward?

@judy1951 You might try looking to do a trial of a spinal cord stimulator. It worked well for me.

Hi Kelsey et al, I’ve been in the Mayo connect for a long time. Now unfortunately I have a new affliction. Transgeminal neuralgia. I was having dental surgery and my jaw was hyper extended for a an extended period of time. The first lightening episode was the the night after surgery. Had no idea what it was. I do now. I’m in denial. 20 years of CRPS for multiple reasons and now this. How can I handle 2 syndromes nicknamed the suicide disease?

@caregeraci15 Hi, Care! I, ŧoo, struggle with chronic pain- peripheral neuropathy in both legs and my legs and my left hand. They thought I had Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, but after doing genetic testing, I don't, so we're back to square one. I take Lyrica and it genuinely helps. It's technically a controlled substance, but it's not a narcotic. I'm here if you want or need to talk 😊

I've had chronic pain for 20 yrs. 1st diagnosed as CPS. which is a blanket statement for they don't have a clue.
A yr. ago a got severe dry mouth from medication interaction. Since that time I have this feeling of strings in my mouth surrounding my teeth but, dentist, Oral surgeon see nothing there. They say it is probably neurological ( maybe trigeminal neuropathy, burning mouth syndrome or something form of Sjorgrens. It drives me insane. Eating is torture and no one has been able to solve or help me. There are times that I feel that I just want to die.
