Back pain and Leg cramps

MCGrad2006 · Apr 5, 2009

I know I wrote about my back pains a while back, but they went away. I did the whole heat and aleve thing and felt better for about 4 weeks. Well the pain started to come back yesterday. It is a pain in my right side only, about halfway down my back. It seems to happen when I am sitting a certain way and breathing a certain way. I dont always get the pain. I was trying on dresses for my friends wedding yesterday and it was really bad during that. I had not done my nebs yet that day...but I dont really think the pain is from my lungs. My mom thinks its stress, my students are doing high stakes testing this week and it is stressful (making sure they follow directions and knowing I cant do or say anything to them) and also the fact that I am looking for a summer job AND a teaching job for the fall is very draining on me. I dont know though. Does anyone have any sgggestions for over the counter treatments? I dont think it is emergency type care, but its painful...

In addition to that pain, I have been waking up the last few nights with leg cramps again...I have NOT had this problem in a LONNNNGGGGGG time. Does anyone have any suggestions for that? I ate a banana the other day and it helped last night, but would that be a huge problem? Could both pains be connected?

Please help! Thanks.

I have a muscle disease that is unknown...it causes muscle cramping (mild - severe), stiffness, and sometimes I have joint pain. Since I am the only one with the mutation that causes it they really don't have me on any medication yet. The pain gets so bad I cry myself to sleep some nights. Anyhow I soak in a tub of hot water with epsom salts often and that has helped a little bit as well as sleeping with a heating pad on and off.

I know we have different things but I though the epsoms salts and heating pad may help you too.
