Re: Leg pain again..

I'm glad you asked the question...my pain seems different than what I'm
hearing from you guys. It is a sharp pain that goes from the small of
my back in a line down through my hips and down the outside of my
thighs. Then I also have a burning pain that shoots in a line down the
inside of my thighs to my knees. I also had an MRI that found a
slightly degenerating disc in my back and was diagnosed with
fibromyalgia. I'm starting to wonder how much of the leg pain is fibro
and how much may be endo.
