Tom,
The pain is in my right buttocks all the way to the ankle. It is a
very tight, constrictive ache that often takes my breath away and makes me
put on my PD face - a grimace. Then it often turns into the entire leg
right to the toes that feels like the strongest case of "falling asleep"
(pins and needles). Now, often times, it feels more like spikes. I often
lay on the floor on my back in front of a chair and put my feet on the
chair. It seems to help everything, including my back. Paula
