How strange that you brought this up today. Yesterday I got a strange cramp in my big toe. I had to bend it back with my hand. It spread under my foot and up the back of my calf. This morning my knee was numb. Then from the knee down. I started to investigate (Googling etc.) and about all I could find was sciatica something from my lower back. They also mentioned fibromyaliga (sp) which didn't fit.

Yes don't look for the single source of the problem...continue to trace it. Understanding the problem solves it. Cheers!
Thanks...I'm still in the mass confusion stage. I've had back problems since I broke it 32 years ago. All of the potential ailments sound reasonable at this point. Hmmm...maybe the doctor-Nah!
Yes I have an extensive argument for why these problems persist and why doctors chiros phsysio etc are effectively useless.
I can't present the solution, it is to big, and it will take me time to compartmentalize. But it is something like: go get a GENTLE relaxation massage that will help you explore different muscle and nerve issues.
Then go back to your childhood, provided doctors approve, start lying on your stomach when you watch tv and kicking your legs all around. Start crawling. Start making soccer ball kicking motions and baseball throwing motions.
Start DEFINING the pain, meaning don't move away from it, but be careful when approaching it. In other words we often free pain and stop doing a motion, but it might be that the pain is a product of lack of use, so we need to explore the movements we are uncomfortable with.
Sometimes were are unknowingly uncomfortable with movements but we don't feel pain.
Sometimes, and this is a key point, we feel pain, but we don't know it.
