Severe leg pain/tingling and seizures

Tue, 05/12/2009 - 08:49

I 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.

Have you thought about it being a muscle cramp? Some meds have side effects of those. My dughter is complaining of it, too. Now she says it is in her foot. She has all kinds of seizures & now has bloody urine. Just a mess & all they can say is tests. AND MORE TESTS! No answers though.

I think i had one too.....it starts off like tingling but then it went to my muscle hardening untill it ached i almost yelled....it stayed like that for a while.....my leg and toes froze.....i noticed a few years back that if i positioned my toes to do a specific motion they would stay like that untill i could controll them......but the pain was to much too bear......the only thing my brain thought of was the pain of my leg and how to make it stop.....nothing else

Hi, Anybody knows what is it exactly? I have had this pain from last 4 years. It has appeared about 10 times in my knee. Out of those 10 times, 2 have been converted to a "mini-seizure". Its such that I just fall down unconscious.
