OK, it took me a couple of days to come up with a new symptom but by now most of you know you can count on me for something new and different.

When I sneeze, I get a tingling sensation on my inner leg from my knee down to my ankle. It only lasts for a second or two, but it really made me stop and say, what the dickens was that? I know we use every muscle in our body when we sneeze, but this has never happened to me before. Please, tell me I'm not crazy.

Sounds like it could be your sciatic nerve...... The Sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, and is about the diameter of your little finger. The nerve runs from the base of your spine, through the buttock into the back of your leg, to the side of the calf muscle, through your ankle into the top of your foot and ends at your big toe.Pain usually starts in the lower back, but you will experience most of the pain in your legs and buttocks, in the hip, and anywhere along the path of the nerve. The pain is usually on one side.Symptoms are pins and needles, tingling or crawling sensations which can be felt anywhere along the path of the nerve.Coughing and sneezing can aggravate the situation.

Booky- moonlight is dead on! The only thing she left out is that you can get a sudden sharp pain also, and like she said, anywhere along the path of the nerve. I went through this for about a year everytime I coughed or sneezed. Go figure.... I would yelp out "EW!" or "OUCH!" everytime it happened. I felt like some sort of earthly reject!! I have a high school g/f that is a chiropractor, and she saw me jump and yell out one time, and told me she thougth it was my sicatic nerve. She told me to exercise more. Yeah, right... like THAT'S going to happen!!

Wow! That makes sense to me now!

I had a severe sacroriliac strain (left side) in December and again in January. Since then, my left side from the middle back down has had all sorts of issues as I struggle to get back to some semblence of health and balance. Even my left knee is bothering me--not bad, but it feels like it's "out of place". Unfortunately my chiropractor is out of town until next Tuesday, so I guess I'll just have to suffer until then. <sigh>

Another mystery solved by the crack detectives at PS!! LOL

Bookie the only thing i get when i sneeze is this warm sensation of warmth going right into my pad in uderwears lol i had to say that. Yes it could be your sciatic nerve only thing i can think of at the moment, who knows anymore with menopause i could proabably make up some bazaar symptoms and someone out there might have it. Menopause is just wonderful isn't it NOT!!!!!!!!! hugs terry
