@johnbishop Thanks for the info regarding the website, I will check it out for sure. To answer your question, my feet feel swollen, but they do not look swollen, weird! I cannot wear certain shoes that are real stiff, but those with a tad of a give I can wear, but not for long if I am doing alot of standing. I know sounds weird and does not make sense, but with trial and error I have figured out the shoe thing. I will be darned if I cannot be somewhat fashionable, lol! They feel cold, not cold like I have been out in the cold weather for an extended time, just cool I guess is a better way to describe it. As far as your balance and walking goes, do you feel like your inner part of the sole of your foot is lower than the two sides of your foot on the bottom. I know that sounds weird, but I think that is part of my balance issues, I have to make sure I keep track of where I am walking and if there is an uneven surface I have to be prepared to adapt. Also, someone made a comment along the line about the ability to use handicapped parking, I do and get funny looks sometimes, have gotten used to it.

I have the same, sometimes it feels like there’s a rubber band on my ankles and my feet want to blow up. They also feel cold all the time. I say they feel like they’re in ice blocks. The electrical zaps are unbearable. I am fighting it with home exercises and pt every week but I fear for the future…
