That would be great! I am now having a lot of numbness & weakness in in my feet & back of my legs. I am very worried that my walking days might be over. With all the hardware i have in my spine, not much i can do. Will have to get a bike Have a lot of weakness in lower extremities. I do squats, as it seems to be fastness way to get some strength in my legs. Only can do every 3 days now. My pain doctor said not to do do theses But i can't walk with my walker much. All my strength goes into my shoulders. Squats aren't good for my pain level, but i do not want to go back to a wheelchair. Seems every day is different
To date, have not found any doctor even willing to read a few of his handouts, that i have printed for them. Tell me they know all about it & tell they are too busy. Sad state of affairs, here in AZ. Only university hospital is over 100 miles away. But new PCP said he would refer me to the Barrows, which is a premier institute for neurological issues. I just gave up. I have next to know feeling in my feet. Can barely walk. Only problem, is that's a 6 month wait for specialist appointments. But will see if i can get seen at the Barrow's. This is where i started & only offer was steroids Glad you got your DX, but every one is so different. So don't despair too much. Your situation could be less severe I had several honeymoon years guess i just got too cocky let's hope maybe new year, will be better
