Numbness, and occasional unpredictable control of major leg muscles, making it difficult to go
downstairs, etc.   Left side only.  Not what I'd call "painful" though.

I suffered this for years before treating what I think is an ancient, untreated infection, probably
chlamydia, with zithromax.  After years of all kinds of not major problems, most symptoms
disappeared temporarily.  When they return, I just nke it again with the zithromax and its gone
again - never permanently.

I've discussed this with chlamydia doctors, but I guess it's too hard - they don't want it to be
untreatable, so they don't want to consider this possibilty.  

Maybe when those supercilious a.sholes wake up and do some hard work I'll try to cure it again.  

Maybe I'll just grow old and die first.  No hurry either way.

At the peak of my symptoms when sitting for a prolonged period
(more than ten minutes) any preasure on the skin in a two foot radius
from peranal region was painful.  I felt like the blood flow was cut
off by the preasure, and the tissue was being damaged.  If I had
to sit for a long period, it would usually take several days to recover.
