Today we’re making a new extension available that enables C++ development in Visual Studio for Linux. With this extension you can author C++ code for Linux servers, desktops and devices. You can manage your connections to these machines from within VS. VS will automatically copy and remote build your sources and can launch your application with the debugger.

Sadly, you must be thinking of someone else, I still don't know if I had one of them or not.

So, no. I secretly swapped my limp pill for a pebble cos it'll last longer..

Can we compare notes Chris? I had a sudden problem where my legs wouldn't carry me, but after sitting for a few minutes it could be fine. My upper leg area muscles progressively stopped doing what muscles do, until it was sit or fall down.

It happened a dozen times or so on different days from Dec through Feb. sheet happens, but it hasn't happened again since then. I do get up and walk very stiffly and awkwardly and it tends to free up a bit as a I walk. Old age stinks. And I'm not that old yet.

What I was wondering is how your endurance is for walking, with your dodgy hip and aches. Do you walk around your home? Are some days better than others?

Hrrrm. I don't have the "legs wouldn't carry me" I just have pain. The hip joint area gives me really deep pain occasionally, the norspan patch usually (but not always) keeps it at bay. What stops me is in parts, the large muscle in the front of the thigh hurts, all the time. I can't straighten the leg, if I try it really hurts bad, so it's a stooped stance or the knee is way out front. I can walk with that, uncomfortably, and it hurts, but I can walk for a while.

But then there's the lower back pain. That really hurts. As soon as I sit it's gone, so afaik it's spinal stenosis in L3 & L4. That's the one that stops me. I can walk a little bit but the pain comes in fast and the pain level shoots really high, way past the 10, a long way past and I can't continue without a helluva bad pain. But, as I said up there, as soon as I sit it's gone. So it must be nerve pain from L3/L4. That one is the worst pain usually.

While sitting I have pain in that front thigh muscle and what's left of the guys down the side of the leg from the operations and also in the groin area and down the leg a bit as well.

I don't use any assistance in the house other than rolling and rising from bed or getting down/up from the floor. I use a wheeled walking frame when out and about and electric scooter around the Ponderosa.

To have the muscles fail to do their job is another whole kettle of fish. Wanna swap? No, I didn't think so, matter of fact, neither do I.

If I was on medicine during that period then maybe, but I wasn't on any at all misi.

Chris, that large muscle in the front of your thigh is a right bastard by the sound of it. The nerve pain from L3/L4 going sky high - sorta limits you a tad, eh?

Do you sit in a recliner - for comfort not legs extended? Or kitchen or office chair? All ok? The electric scooter sounds like a bit of fun, wheelies up and down the driveway, and chasing snakes down in the gully. :happy

I have an idea of the nerve issue as my right arm has a nerve pain that randomly shifts anywhere from the bicep down to the top of the forearm, at the elbow, then down to above the wrist, and finally into the back of the R hand. The Cymbalta has reduced it in severity quite a bit, but I still reach for the left-hand-mouse at times, to rest it as it twinges. The arm thing began around January.


They say that when you see what other people can put in a circle, as in parcels of their life, that you'd grab your own back again. I think it's mainly true because you're already used to the nasty, and the thought of a different nasty fills you with horror. :lol:

You know Chris, has your doc mentioned your nerve pain and medicine to treat it at all? It would seem to me, not knowing anything, that your front thigh muscle pain is also nerve related. Is up the outside and groin aches also that too?

Nerve pain medication did nothing for me except making my skin peel off me with reaction to the drug. Physio didn't help whatsoever. The doctor that diagnosed the Lumbar Spinal stenosis told me that it was akin to a plumbing problem where the nerve root was being compressed between the vertebrae. This compression caused electrical tingling pain down my leg which progressed quite rapidly until like Chris I had to sit or fall down. This was accompanied soon after by the feeling that my hip was swelling and my groin started it's own pain cycle. At it's worst I could stand for 2 mins and walk for 5 mins before the pain cycle would start. It was only after the third vertebrae sleeve injection of a double dose which was done by the scan determining how close he was to the nerve root, then after about 4 scans being mindful that a penetration of the nerve root could cause serious if not permanent damage, that it did take affect. The first two injections had virtually no affect and I could feel the tingling start as soon as I got off the CAT scan table. It has been quite some time now since the treatment with no re-occurrence. :hope But I exercise and stretch my back and spine for 20 minutes every day, out of sheer fear of it coming back as well as doing Tai Chi 3 times a week.

The lumbar area is under a great deal of pressure from the body and gravity, and the type and level of compression might be factors, I don't know. Something I'd be interested to know is if they tried different nerve pain medication.

It's possible that because it was affecting you very badly that the most expedient method was then chosen - as the nerve pain medications can take some weeks to have good effect.

It's fantastic that you got a good result. and it goes without saying that it's fantastic you aren't a paraplegic from a snafu with the injection.
