Crazy Pains, I hope This Will Not Hinder Me

Tweet

I could go into lots of detail but it would take too long. I will sum it up by saying that when I was 12 years old, I had an accident with my left leg that required surgeries and plastic surgery. There was a patch of skin on my left thigh that became numb and has had slight tingles on rare occasions, but has mostly has been numb for 40 years, until today!!! So, here I am, now at age 53. I am in pre menopause. For nearly a year, I have not had a period until last week. Just when I thought it was over, yesterday it started up again and I had cramps all day yesterday. Today, I still have some cramps. I bend down in the bathroom earlier today and the worst pain occurs in my lower left back that shoots down into my left leg and all of a sudden makes the numb spot, tingle with pain!! Now, I can hardly bend down at all without my lower back hurting and that pain in the numb spot of my leg at the same time! The only way I can somewhat bend down is to bend my knees a lot when I bend down. Do any of you out there know anything about numb areas on the body , that all of a sudden have feelings after decades and decades? Does this happen to other people or am I an odd case? One of the things I thought, is that the painful tingles is that could they be compared to the phantom pains a person who has lost a limb experience. I say this because right next to the numb patch on my leg is a big indented scar. I hope all this is not the beginning of something that could hinder me from living my life to it's fullest. I don't want to become an invalid when I feel younger than I am.
