Thank you so much for your comment. I call the swimming pool my happy place
too!! 👍 I meet people in the water and have a group of friends to talk
to, so in addition to the swimming, which is great exercise and feels good,
it's a social outlet to get my mind off my condition. After swimming, I am
able to function a little better for a while, but as the day progresses, I
have to lie down a lot to take the pressure off my right leg which becomes
so uncomfortable and burns.
I am glad that the CBD, THC lotion helps. I need to look into that.
I'm 71 now, and have been dealing with this for 8 years. I seem stable, in
that I'm not worse, but not getting better.
Do you have it more in one leg than the other, and do you have more pain
upon sitting? The sitting kills my right leg ao much that I have to lie on
my back to read, use my phone, etc. I do exercises in bed. I walk around my
house without canes, etc, and I can only walk short distances outside. I'm
also off balance. A gust of wind could knock me over. In the store, I ride
in those carts, but stand up frequently to shop. I'm very leary of someone
knocking into me, cause I'm not too steady.
I'm told that I have small fiber polyneuropathy with some motor involvement.
Well...time to get to the pool. Thank you again for your response.
