Peg Leg
So, I have to talk about my random pains.... It is the weirdest thing ever. Ok. So, last Sunday, my back started hurting really bad. It felt like I had thrown my back out (Yes, I'm 85 yrs old). I couldn't bend at all from my waist and if I had to go down, I had to completely squat from my legs while my back stayed straight. You can imagine, it was a long 3 days in a 1st grade classroom, where pretty much all you do is bend down to talk to kids. That lasted until Friday, when all the sudden my back didn't hurt as much but my whole left leg started throbbing. It was awful. I could not get comfortable and even laying down, it just ached so badly. My poor husband thought I was going to die, because I'm never sick or anything, he hadn't ever seen me in pain. Well, then Saturday, my back didn't hurt at all, and really my left thigh didn't either. But now, all the pain was located into my calf. It was just moving lower and lower. Basically, I limped all Saturday, which was annoying because I had a baby shower and big group activity at night, so everyone was like, "What's wrong with your foot?!" over and over again. My calf didn't hurt unless I didn't limp and then it turned into an automatic charlie horse, which I decided to just limp after that happened once. It was bad. So, then today... I woke up and got out of bed and it's still in my calf. But, it hurts today, more than it hurt yesterday, even if I limp. I had to take much smaller steps than yesterday, like my calf could not use any muscle to stretch. So, I limped around really slowly. Annnd, my foot feels like its constantly coming out of being asleep. So, its always tingly. Well, there you go. I'm a freak. I'm even going to the doctor's this week. I haven't been to the general doctor since I was like 5, seriously. So, if this has happened to any of you, could you please diagnose me? It would be much appreciated.

Wow-ouch! That sounds like a real pain--in more ways than one. I wish I could give you helps on what it could be! I must say though Whitney...I LOVE your posts. They always make me smile-even when you are talking about being in pain (Hmm...that may sound bad...not smiling at your pain by any means...I should probably stop now.) ;) Good luck on finding out what it is! Let us know!
