Numbness in my feet

Posted by jb2610 @jb2610, Apr 17 11:53am

Have had numbness in my feet for the last 10 years. Doctor says he can't do anything about it because I don't have any pain just numbness.

After seeing several neurologists I complained to my orthopedic doctor that they are not helpful. He confided that orthopedists have a few jokes about this. Here is one:
Two men were in a hot air balloon. A gust of wind came and blew them off course into a bank of clouds. When they descended far enough they spotted a man in a field. They yelled down to him "Where are we?".
He replied, "You're in a hot air balloon". One man in the gondola turned to the other and said: He must be a neurologist. The other man asked why. The first man said, He's entirely correct but totally useless.

OMG! So true. I feel like posting this on my doctor's comment section.

What do you call the person who finished last in their med school class?

Doctor.

It does need to be purchased from a distributor. I don't know if it's acceptable to put the # of Jayne Benkendorf. She is quite experienced and helpful. She let me know which one of the capsules was helping my neuropathy.
I would be glad to help with things.
