Last year I developed what seemed like a slight colitis, treated it with diet, eliminated most carbs, sugar etc. Doctor prescribed Pentasa, which increased the bowel movements. Days later, developed pain near shoulder blade, numbness down left arm, left thigh neuropathy, burning feet. All blood work o.k.Discontinued medication.Developed panic and depression.
Scalene muscles in neck seem swollen. Had three weeks of cluster migraines, left side, puffly lower eyelid.
Intestines sore, one stool a day, soft and mucous.
Tested blood positive for Chrons, somewhat positive for Celiac. Gastro and colonoscopy show nothing.
Anyone with similar symptoms?
Cannot determine if the cause of the neuropathy is the intestines, whether I have an entrapment shoulder neck, and cannot quite improve the intestines.
abdomen is sore to the touch on the left side from the solar plexus down an inch or two.
Feel bad constantly with one or the other, I want my life back.
All testing so far, negative. Dreading future testing.
Any ideas?

:angel: No quick answer from any of us. Neuropathy can be from nothing which is my case. I have it in my left thigh (really bad) and my right calf, and now in my right index finger. Those 3 places are from injuries to a nerve or nerves. Then I have the painful feet tight, tingling scalp, flush face and a aching arms. And my Dr. has diagnosed this as MILD. Get your self a good Neurologist if you haven't already.
We are the silent sufferers if you ask me cause no one can see our pain so consiquently we go unnoticed. That's what this board is for.
I have taken to "trippin" on how my pain feels. That's an old '60's/70's term. I know there isn't anything I can do, I take the med's I'm given, and try to lead a normal life. Today I feel lousey but I'm going to a golf tournament and feel lousey there with my husband. No use both of us sufferin!
Good luck!
Sincerely,
Cathy :cool:

Cathy did you ever take a statin? Lipitor or one of the others? Lots of people have neuropathy after taking it plus muscle cramps in thighs and calves. Living in a retirement community I see it a lot plus my PT doctor and pain doctor both tell me they are starting to see a lot of it now. I am one of the unlucky ones who did take it.
