I have been to my internist who ordered xrays which showed very little of significance.  My orthopedist ordered Lumbar MRIs.  Only showed a sanovial cyst.  He feels it could not account for the degree of pain, especially since it is only at night.  He ordered blood work panel related to inflammation.  Nothing significant.  I am on gabapentin for trigeminal nerve issue on my face.  I cannot sleep at night since the pain begins somewhere between 2:00 and 4:00.  If I get up and walk around the severity of the pain lessens.  Any ideas?

    What type of pain? Cramping?  I have been on Gabaoentin for quite some time for GI issues.  I now have small nerve neutropathy in my feet.  I get crampy feelings in my lower legs and toes.  I also have hip pain, both sides. No answers for me either.

      The pain is like a severe non-stop Charlie horse in my shins and thighs.

    I finally have made by way to a rheumatologist.  It was an extensive evaluation for movement and pain sensitivities.  He touched my bursa areas on both hips and I nearly jumped off the table.  He gave me an injection in each trochanteric bursa and I have had a miracle.  No hip pain. I slept without hip pain for the first time in nearly a year.

     For a week I have not had leg pain either.  But, last night I had some leg cramping.

    Finally had rheumotologist diagnose trochanteric bursitis.  Gave me shots in both bursa.  Now I have no hip pain but the calf and foot pain persists.  Still wakes me only in the middle of the night and eases when I sit up or stand up and walk around.
