I have had problems with my lower back and legs since the birth of my first child (2.5 years). In the last 6 months things have gotten so much worse. I have pins and needles and aching legs all day long, they go from feeling very tired to very painful. My feet feel like they are in ice water most of the time. I had an emg/ncv 3 weeks ago. The person doing the test said he found one of my calf muscles to be dysfunctional. He didn't say what the other results were. I plan to visit my gp next week (soonest appointment) to see if I can get any answers, as things are becoming unbearable on the bad days. Has anyone experienced this before. I really am hoping I can find out what is wrong with me or at least find something to manage this.

    If I were you I would go see a neurologist or a rheumatologist as I have the same thing. I was diagnosed as having peripheral neuropathy then in 1 of my legs I now have sciatica and it is not fun.

    Good luckconfused

    Emma - did you have an epidural? If so, check out Arachnoiditis. Hope it's not that, but I have it after childbirth with an epidural.
