I upped my dose of phytoestrogen cream for two days and the pain has seemed
to lessen, at least during the day, once I have gotten up. And when my
sources of stress are gone, there is much less pain. Right now there is
just a burning pain around my leg. Seems to go from the thigh down to the
back of my calf. It is only on the right side. And not really shooting
down or traveling. I will have pain in one area, then the other.
Am having some wrist and finger numbness/pain but I have carpal tunnel as
well. Normally that is not a problem unless I have done too much. I don't
think that I have but I am also not typing in a normal fashion. Somehow my
keyboard pullout got pushed in too far and I can't figure out how to get it
back out. I did it before but what I did before isn't working now. So I am
typing with my hands partially under the desk.
