I'm new to Mayo Connect and offer my empathy to @darj and @pammiesue51. I thank you for your posts because it is the most accurate description I can think of to describe my feet. Early 2018 I noticed when laying on my back in bed that my feet felt strange, tight and it was as if they were up against something hard. I saw my GP who referred me to a Neurologist who did tests for idiopathic peripheral neuropathy (non diabetic). All OK. I do have osteoarthritis arthritis in my feet, shoulders hips and back. Plus nerve damage and disc issues in my back. I was having balance issues but have taken up walking and this seems to have helped a lot. However I still have the feeling in my feet like having stepped in glue and it's dried. I can walk up stairs easily but coming down is harder, not impossible just takes longer. I wish I just knew what is causing this. Thanks

Hi new to site. I was surprised to read the description of how your feet feel as if you’d stepped in glue and it had dried. That’s how I described the feeling.While visiting in Canada I fell and had emergency partial hip replacement on my right hip.Returned home after 10 days in Trois Riveres hospital during July. Not a pleasant time. Fast forward I have not recovered as I would like. Now I have a diagnosis of severe spinal stenosis. Have had to spinal epidurals. After the 2nd one I started having numbness and neuropathy In my left leg??i haven’t done the nerve test yet but I guess I should. It’s funny how you start falling apart
