Sudden sharp stabbing pain in front of left shin just below knee!

I'm not sure what type of pain control you have but that sounds bad. One thing I was allowed to get from my pain mgmt doc was Baclofen. I was having severe cramping in my legs and charlie horses if I would bend in a certain direction or upon waking up in the morning. My muscles were just locked up around the bones where I have osteoarthritis and possibly tendonitis. What happened was I took 10 mg and felt really relaxed. My muscles too. I had to be really careful. I did not do any bending down. It increased my appetite too but I didn't give in. So since I can take 20 mg per day I felt the charlie horse coming on in my leg but it seemed to start at my feet. I used my tens unit, put gel toe dividers to increase my circulation for 10 minutes and then took my medication and baclofen. Before I was taking Diazepam but I am going off of it because they won't work with me if I am on a benzo. So basically if you are having that type of cramping and its that bad you could ask for Baclofen. I've tried Naprosyn, Cyclobenzaprine, Methocarbomal, Robaxin. All the NSAIDS. What happened was I ended up with severe stomach repercussions. I have Irritable bowel syndrome. I have to take Zantac in the morning with my Lyrica and Norco. I started taking Papaya Enzyme like 12 pills per day from a large bottle I purchased in the natural food isle at Fred Meyer. This morning my Irritable Bowel Sydrome was not as bad. I've been doing this for a week. So the Baclofen seems to be very effective but not good if you have balance problem. I just felt really relaxed, not anxious, not paranoid, just relaxed. Sleep last night came 10 minutes after taking my Depakote, Minipress, Norco, and Baclofen. I did not wake up with leg cramps. I have severe pain all over so I can definitely sympathize with you. Have you tried. Ultrasound therapy, Hot baths, Tens Unit, Biofeedback or Hypnosis. I currently don't get enough relief during the day so about every 2 to 3 hours I have to lay down and do heat pad and then I go online to u tube and do hypnosis for anxiety by Jody Whitely. There is a cat and she calms you down with deep breathing exercises and you end up relaxed and can sleep for a few hours. I need to do it now because the train horn woke me up at 5 am and I'm exhausted now. I'll probably be asleep till Noon and then the disability bus will come to take me shopping and pick up my prescriptions. I'm only 43 years old and have severe emotional instability mood problems, chronic pain, degenerative disc, osteoarthritis, pelvic pain, cysts and fibroids on my ovaries and cervicalgia which is neck pain and it radiates into my shoulder. I was able to get a really good solid neck pillow. How about pillows for your legs. Is there anywhere you can go and get into a hot tub? I have these things available to me. Note that if you contantly stress yourself out thinking it is going to happen that it will. It is the law of the universe and the reaction of your mind and consequences of the remembering of how bad the pain was last time it happened. Try to relax and listen to relaxing music. Laughing a lot helps. Think of yourself as perfection no matter how old you are. Chronic pain is really hard to deal with and sometimes when you need to wait for doctors to cooperate or have an appointment it is so frustrating, but let them do their job but your job is to take care of you. If you can't bend in that position then don't do it! Just don't! My roommate wants me to go down for a nap. He just left for work. Its me first now with diet and vitamins and medicine and my mindfulness of the situation. I just had surgery and it allowed me to walk again. That was it. It did not take away the pain. But walking is better than not walking. With the Baclofen I seem to have my agility back again. The pharmacist told me that cyclobenzaprine is superior. Not in my case. Cyclobenszaprine are like taking sugar tablets that tear a hole in my tummy. Hope you feel better. Send me a message anytime. Talking about it helps so much. Sometimes the people you live with get frustrated too. They don't want to hear your woes all of the time. This is a good site to make buddies that are in pain too. Have a great day if you can and I will pray now for you that you can get over this. My mom had bone spurs on her hips. She went for like 4 ultrasound treatments and its gone! You can buy an ultrasound machine online for about $110. Let me know if you need the company's name. I believe they are FDA certified. My tens unit and all my stuff is otherwise I wouldn't be using them 

By now I guy you have gone to a Dr.  What were the results?
