Anyone know what this leg pain could be. I've never had it like this. When I was off the pd1 for 4 weeks I had lots of pains in my back, hips and left leg. Then Monday I got opdivo pd1 and by Tuesday so much better only pain was some in my left leg and left hip.
Then Wednesday night massive pain along the front of my legs. From mid thigh to mid calf including the knee. Very difficult to stand due to pain especially above right knee.
When I stand you can actually see the right leg from mid thigh to mid calf is quivering on its own. Maybe like a spasm. Plus both legs are a bit wobbly. Then when I walk it is hard but not as bad as trying to stand. None of that tingling in feet or stuff they sometimes ask about.
By Thursday morning I got the pain under control by taking 10 mg oxycodone about every 4 hours. Slept through Thursday night with no pills and woke with no pain. Until I moved to get up that is then massive in the legs again so more oxy. This morning didn't even have to move so more oxy.
Ive got lots of tumors in my spine and pelvis. One in my left upper leg. My left lower leg was radiated last year. Never had any issue with right leg until now so very surprised. Recent spine MRI said I had cord displacement at the t10. Haven't had that since I was almost paralyzed last year. Also said there is a defect in the vertebroplasty I had done at mayo last summer. So my mayo doc should get the scan disk Monday. My saint Louis doc got it last Wednesday. I figure I'll call my saint Louis doc Sunday night so they have the message for Monday. I usually try to see how these things go on their own because they usually get better after a couple days but so far this doesn't seem to get better. Not sure what it is. Dad thinks it might be something pressing on a nerve.

Artie,
My father has had some back trouble and back surgery in his past. Your pain sounds similar to what he was experiencing at times. In his case it was a result of pinched nerves in his back causing the pain running down his leg. Maybe you are experiencing the same type of thing.

Thank you. They say it is bone tumor pains. That I should do oxy cotton and continue with oxy codone as needed. Pain seems better so I'm holding off on the cotton for now and see.
