Gerry, What Brig has sounds so much like the way I felt at this time last year, except I'm careful not to fall. I was given an epidural last July. The pain disappeared then, but it is starting to return a bit now. Sometimes now I wonder why I do the stutter-step: is it because I fear losing my balance or because I am afraid I will put too much weight on my leg, find it hurting, and buckle - but not nearly as badly now as before. Has your neurologist considered this as a solution for Brig's problem? Art At 06:52 AM 1/8/2004 -0500, you wrote: >I probably started the latest leg pain problem with Brig's severe pain in his >legs.
