Re: Puzzling Leg Pain

Yup--I'm 70 years old and take atenolol, omeprazole, paxil, and univasc.
At night I take 75 mg of generic benedryl for sleep. And, of course, a
daily Centrum-type vitamin pill.

Incidentally, the pain-problem only started when I began daily walks of
about 45 minutes. Now, even without the daily walks, the problem remains.
I've tried several different ways of sleep with--and without--bed clothing.
So far, the only thing that seems to help is raising the setting on an
electric mattress pad--the pain seems diminished at higher settings,
though the problem remains.

Any other thoughts?

I've now seen 3 doctors (two of them, specialists) for a chronic leg pain
problem that affects me only at night. Basically, my left leg begins with
leg in the calf about 30 minutes after going to bed. In the course of the
night the pain spreads throughout the leg.

Yet, in the morning, and once I'm standing or upright, the pain
disappears
until I again go to bed.

Had an arterial scan as well as two apparently thorough examinations by
specialists. So far, their prescriptions haven't changed the situation,
so
I'm wondering if any others have experienced similar symptoms, and how
they've treated it.

Any suggestions?

are you taking any medications?
