neuropathy in feet

Posted by elawrie46 @elawrie46, 5 days ago

I have nerve damage in my feet. Does anyone have this problem? When I start to walk my feet make me go forward at a quick momentum, almost like running and not able to stop. Has anyone heard of this problem?

What can be done to reduce numbness in feet?

Yes, my gait is highly increased. Almost like running forward at times. Or sometimes I freeze for a second or two and studder forward. It's really weird. I can't figure it out.

It definitely did happen to me. I was fortunate that a local medical center offered a physical and occupational therapy program designed for chemotherapy patients. It helped greatly with regaining my balance and my walking.

I was hoping it would take away the pain and annoyance of the neuropathy, It didn't, but I'm happy for what it did,

Again, my neuropathy is from chemo treatments. I plead ignorance about other types.

I am having the same problem-numbness in both feet , symmetric. Doctors guess it is from l 5 compression fracture of one year ago. With it I cannot risk driving. No other symptoms! Not diabetic nor b12 deficient.
