Hello to all of you. I just read all your posts. We’re all on a journey that we didn’t plan ahead for. For me it’s been about 10 yrs or more. Stared off with some pain issues in my left foot. Podiatrist said it was a neuroma. Tried injections & orthotics. No Help. Tried a different Podiatrist. Same results.
During all of this I’ve studied, read & investigated everything available. Pain increased. Started on Lyrica. Worked to some degree.
I purchased many different types of socks & footwear tinking I just had to get the right ones. Pain increased & was now effecting my right foot as well.
I’ve always been active in many fitness related activities.
But now I felt like I was benched for the rest of the game. Pain levels increased along with other symptoms.
Finally this past August I saw a very sharp & knowledgeable Neurologist. She took into account all of my experiences & completed an extensive examination. Including a full assessment of multiple blood tests. Prescribed an EMG Test. Finally received a diagnosis. Large Fiber Poly Motor Sensor PN. Started taking Gabapentine. Noted some improvements.
It’s been a long journey up to now. But at least I now know what I’m up against. I’m not a quitter & in for the fight.
