i'm surprised we don't have a general health forum/group
so there's no place to bitch, but my legs frickin' hurt. It's been diagnosed as everything from restless leg syndrome to myalgia, but all I know is they frickin' hurt and i am consuming probably way more Advil than is healthy.

1. I think the influx of witch doctors and snake oil salespeople
would ruin it.

Sorry bout your legs, though. Is it muscular, ligaments...?

2. I feel bad for ya.
Edited on Sat Jul-26-08 07:56 PM by Iggo
My legs and hips and feet started hurting real bad last winter and, like you, I kinda had to bite the bullet because I couldn't see that taking that many pain killers all day every day was doing me any short term or long term good.

As for any Health Forum/Group, my first thought is that there'd be a whole lot of people giving out bad (if not dangerous) medical advice who have no business giving out medical advice. Probably a bad idea.

3. Yeah, I don't know what's going on
A lot of Advil makes it go away, but I know that's not good, long term.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, like always, I guess.
