    Yes, I have. In the past was far and few between. But I just went 3 days with it and not quite over it. I find if I keep using digestive AIDS , eat small amounts and I use rescue remedy (Bach flower remedy). This has been the worst. I stand at work, so not good.

    Any chance you are taking Nexium?  I was having upper thigh pains and doctors dudn't know why. I looked up all my meds and this was not listed as a side effect.  I kept searching the Internet and found a small group of people complaining about leg pain and Nexium.  I stopped it and within 4 days the pains I had for weeks went away.  Just a thought.  Research your meds.

    Hi there. I have been suffering with right sided abdominal pain for quite some time...at least two years..I have been to the doctors more than a few times and I've had 2 ultrasounds and a CT that showed everything to be normal. The pain feels like a really bad cramp on my side and often associated with gas or constipation..my mom has ibs and I have a feeling I do too..I also have GERD which has a high correlation with ibs symptoms. I have recently noticed leg pain radiating from the cramping pain in my lower right side near my hip. The pain will often go up my side towards my ribs..does anybody else experience this? It has been lasting all day for me for several weeks now

      Never been on this site before but it's probably an old message sounds like you might have gallbladder that's usually on the right side under the ribs and can radiate to the back and neck

    The sigmoid colon has a reflex spot related to legs. I wonder if the symptoms of spasms, cramps and leg pain are related to the colon. Could a damaged colon contribute to leg pain?

    I know it sounds mad but you don't have low blood pressure do you, if so cook with a little bit of salt as it could be cramp! I wish you luck and if your blood pressure is high please don't do this at all!

    ooph i feel for you, i have sciatica! this hurts where you've said and leaves pins and needles in my feet too. try going online and ask about the pigeon pose for yoga - it may well work and shift the pain. good luck!

    hi, i have the same problem with the leg pain and have bad ibs if im lucky i have one day a week where i have a normal day. ive tried to do a food diary but if i cancel off what makes me bad i wouldnt b eating any food! The doctors make me feel like im making up symtoms they never take me seriously, i am so uncomfortable and feel so low all the time. The pain is so horrible and some nights i cant sleep. Like tonight its half 4 in the morning i just want someone to take me seriously, ive found some info saying that fybro could be causing the pain, so once this lock down has ended im making another doctors appointment to try put this forward as they havent come up with anything. Hope everyone is staying safe

    Hey guys, ive had leg pain on and off for a while now. same with myself, doctors can never relate. I get so much pain in calves also thighs and feet. I'm in so much pain i cant explain! around the same time i get excess of gas and abdominal pain. I think I have the same thing. if anyone gets the same thing and has found anything that helps please let me know. Thanks, josh

    a trapped sciatic nerve will do this, try looking online for something called the pigeon pose, it might help ease some of the pain.
