Over the past several years, I would get a pain in my hip area that would be easibly corrected by a simple chiropractic visit. If I did not take care of it quickly, the pain would shoot down my leg, but again , just one visit to the chiropractor and it would go away, it would happen once maybe twice a year. In January it started again and multiple chiropractic visits gave me no relief. The pain in my hip area was minimal, but my thigh and groin area hurt so bad I could not raise my leg to get in a car, in the bath tub or to put on shoes. I have a high tolerence for pain and this pain was over the top. We did an MRI and the chiropractor said I had some arthritis and sent me to a pain management doc, who gave me cortizone shot in the groin area. While this was going on, I was also having some other issues that I now think may be related. I have been having severe muscle spasms in my feet, and not necessariy at night like most people, it can happen at any time during any activity. I have also noticed other muscles trying to spasm. My hands, calves and abs...Needless to say, the cortizone shot did not help much, but today, I was gingerly putting on socks while sitting on a table and there was pressure going accross the back of my thighs due to the way I was sitting. all of the sudden I got a muscle spasm in my thigh that traced the exact area of my pain. I was totally frozen for several minutes before I could get up to walk out the cramp. I am diabetic, mostly in control, I do take a statin and a water pill, but neither are new. I eat a bananna every day so I doubt it is potasium. Docs are clueless. any ideas out there or even what kind of spcialty doc could help?
Thanks!
