First she describes localized spots of sharp s/l  linging   pains that are random throughout the day.  They last only seconds.  She has felt them on the top of either foot, in a separate area of both of her thighs, her right low calf and her left lower back. 


I cannot figure this out.  It clearly starts with an "L" and I have tried every word I can think of but just cannot figure out what this could be. It is not lingering as the pain last only seconds.  TIA

spelled it that way (I always left a blank in the report ~ he would always "write" it in when he got the report back). This was many, many years ago when I worked in-house. I honestly thought it was a "made-up" word as he was the only doctor who used it (I have never heard it used since), so I was surprised to hear of somebody else stumbling onto the same word (or something similar). By no means did I intend to mean that that was the "correct" spelling or that I used that word ~ I apologize if that is how my message was read. :)
