I have had muscle weakness,severe ice pick like pains in my hips legs, knees and shins for about a year and the Drs. can t figure it out. Ive been tested for lames disease, MS, bone cancer, arthritis and thyroid. I haven t got any answers. I have also gone to a naturopath and she thought it might be caused from asprataine. what do you think?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concrn
The ice pick like severe pain in complete legs could be-
either myogenic (Muscle weakness ) Calcium &vitamine D defrciency or auto immune disease of muscles.Needs investigations to confirm.
OR nurogenic...either nerve compression at lumber spinal level or sciatic nerve symptoms on both sides (less likely to be )
Get your x ray lumber spine to find basic cause followed byspecific treatment suggested by a spinal surgeon.
Thanks.
