Hi
I hope you folks don't mind, I am posting this for my mama.
She has fibro and last year contracted a life threatening Klebsiella infection which she almost died from. Since then she has been experiencing some odd neurological symptoms but she is in crippling pain in her legs and feet. My theory is that the infection, the remnants of it, spread into her nervous system and brain.
The pain is as follows, I tried to get her to describe it as best she can.
It generally occurs in one part, like the toe, the back of the heel, the shin. The pain is in her lower legs and feet. It feels like a stabbing pain, so bad she screams. It's an intense stabbing pain but NOT a burning pain or a tingling pain. She sometimes does get pins and needles in her toes though. The pain comes on, then it moves up the leg to another part, then fades off. When it comes her muscles totally collapse and she falls over and has to sit down. She can barely walk due to this. Her feet ache from it too.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar pains and had a diagnosis?
Thanks!
