Severe leg pain/tingling and seizures
Tue, 05/12/2009 - 08:49I am at wits end for my daughter. Diagnosed 4 years ago. Have not yet found a med that works for her. Lately she has constant seveer leg pain/tingling. She has to get up and walk around saying Ow OW OW OW till it subsides. Yesterday she had 7 eposides - 2 of which went into seizures. Today looks like another day of the same. First leg feeling at 5am and again on bus en route to school. Has anyone had similar expereices?????
We are not getting anywhere with our docs.
Thanks.

My daughter has the same thing but in her foot. After a couple of years it was finally diagnosed as senory seizures.Lamictal has improved them alot. She went from having several a day to going sometimes a few weeks without one.

My father takes Topamax and has found it to be relatively helpful. My mother used to massage his calves at night, and he always loved that! Epsom salt baths seem to alleviate symptoms, as well!
