Leg pain / fatigue

Following my last hospitalization in February, I have gained back most of my
motor control, which I am exceedingly thankful for! I am curious as to
whether anyone else has predominantly leg pain and fatigue as primary
symptoms? My legs feel as though I have overworked them, even after resting
for an entire day. The gastrocsoleus and hamstrings (calf and back of the
legs) are the worse. I had been swimming regularly, but I am almost afraid to
go back to the pool, based on the way my legs feel. Any suggestions? I'm so
afraid of "overworking" again and ending up back in the hospital, yet I feel I
need to work harder, to maintain my functional level. It is such a delicate
balance, and I am having difficulty reading my own body! I had been on
Neurontin before, but I do not know whether this would help. Any suggestions?
I know it is a minor problem compared to what I read on the list, however it
is affecting my daily functioning. I still have not yet returned to work.

Thanks for your imput!
