dear lioness and all: magnesium.... last night i again woke up with terrible pain as my left leg was contorted into an extremely painful cramp. After standing up it took about 15 minutes of much pain to get the leg normal again. Today i went to the orthopedic md and got a shot in the left leg knee which was hurting from arthritis for about a month. And now thank you i will be using magnesium which hopefully will help with the cramps. (Not to take to much). thank you. peach barbara

@caligodgirl Hello Cindy and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I am so sorry to hear of this difficult pain and internal bruising from scar tissue. Having lived with this for 5 years sounds so hard.

Do any of the doctors you have seen offer you any suggestions for this scar tissue problem?

Often large medical centers have a plethora of specialists who can help with severe problems like you have reported. Have you considered a second opinion from a large medical center like Mayo (they have locations in Minnesota, Florida and Arizona) or perhaps a large medical universtiy in your area?

We look forward to getting to know you and supporting you.

@peach414144 Hi, Barb. I just hate those knee shots, and I refuse to get another one until I am totally unable to walk. But I won't be able to crawl, either, so I guess I will just roll or drift in the high tide. It is almost as bad as the hip bone biopsy.

Thanks for all the great info on here. I had a lower back fusion over 10 years ago which helped at that time. I am now more pain symptoms which has brought me to see a pain specialist and a back surgeon. I am just looking for relief again. One wants to put a nerve stimulation device in my back which the back surgeon said that should be last resort. Ibuprofen I use everyday. Hydrocodone on bad days. I am just wondering which is the best surgeon to remove the old hardware in my back then install new that will fix my back again. I am 58 yrs old right now

I wish I had gotten the spinal cord stimulator implant much sooner than I did. It's really helped reduce my peripheral neuropathy pain. Burst DR is something you might want to research.

I like your name. God is the best place to start in any part of our lives.

I've had 4 gastric surgeries, and had to have one to deal with the adhesions from the priors. Anytime my stomach hurts, I start preparing my mind to go to the ER. I was thankful for one surgeon who straightened out the line up my stomach and gave me my belly button back.

I surely hope you find a way to get things sorted out soon. Don't worry about the length of your posts. I'm one of the ramblers here, and everyone puts up with me.

After a while you get used to the shots. Ii waited for 2 1/2 months before i went and that was because the blood pressure hiked up to a serious count When they spray the numbing gas on the knee at the same time they insert the needle it does help some. must buy another large bottle of Advil's and i think i should buy stock in the Advil's. and will somebody please talk to my ulcer. just can't win but again, turn up the music please. take care all.
