I fell 2 years ago Feb. 3, from tripping over a box that was put down behind me as I walked forward and turned around and hit it at a local store. I had only mild neuropathy for years before that. I hit the box, flew up in the air 3-4 feet, and landed 5-6 feet away on the concrete floor. I did not think I hit my head, but as it was described to me later when the pain came in the base of my skull, though it was throbbing very bad after the accident, that I had shaken my brain and had a concussion. I was 78 at the time. Two months later, lots of pain came in, tingling, pain, numbness, etc.. Tests showed Stage 4 sensory nerve damage but could not get my Doctor to give me a test until 5 months later, and now it only progresses every day. My bad so called idiopathic neuropathy I know was caused by the fall, but I am alone in that diagnosis. Not being able to get immediate help at the hospital or get the Doctors to think outside the box has caused my life to be changed forever. My problem is Stage 4 sensory nerve damage which is causing all the pain and numbness in any part of my body and will only get worse. Being 80 and only allowing Doctors 15 minutes per patient these days, you might as well do get on AI and let them help you, and keep pushing for your rights as a patient.
