Right foot constantly goes dead. Try to stand it's as if

Posted by malmor @malmor, Nov 21 2:23am

Foot constantly goes completely dead while i'm attempting to stand. last year, I fractured my ankle, three months later I broke 3 ribs. Three weeks ago i fractured my wrist that didn't sit properly and needed surgery to insert metal plate.
Nobody can give me an answer or a direction. Has this happened to anybody?
We're going to enjoy the entire paths have taken place.

@malmor about 26 years. I read reviews on doctors recommended by my primary care doctor. I'll see any doctor ONCE. If the vibes aren't good then I report to my primary and we look again.

@carol1024 oh, hell yeah, same here where they went to school. Did their internship? If they're brilliant in their field, I'll let them get away with a little arrogance BUT if a doctor doesn't take me seriously or listen to The Words that are coming out of my mouth, then we're going to have a problem. And I'm a very reasonable logical person who has lived in this body for 66 years. So when I say it's not functioning properly the doctor needs to pay attention! Do they think we want to be there, wait for them after they double book patients and then be grateful that they gave you 5 minutes of their time? The first doctor I had an appointment with at the Cleveland Clinic, who I waited over 5 months to see was the first doctor I reported to their new multi billion dollar patient advocacy program. I had to reach out to the woman who created the program in a Cleveland because the advocates in Florida also blew me off. This young twit told me EVERYONE likes this doctor...My reply was she's very nice but I'm not looking for a friend to have coffee with, I'm looking for someone who is going to help me figure out what's happening. The twit in Florida was fired and the doctor was written up and my statement is in her permanent file!

@malmor I know what you mean. I turned 67 in October and I'll never again think anything of someone who's moving slow. When we're young, we're all impatient. Not every disability or impairment is visible. My pain management gave me a handicap placard. I asked for one for only a year until chemo is over because it makes me soooo weak. He gave me a permanent one. I'd just see every one I could. This may sound far out there but have you posed any questions to chatGPT and see what it says? My daughter did it with the endometrial cancer and it was spot on.
It's interesting to say the least.

My sister was trying to talk me into it.But I really have a fear of AI because I have a fear of computers.I never had kids so I don't have like a younger person to ask.You know, show me this once and then I get it.So i'm like, clueless.I have ten security apps, and I don't know if any of them work or if they don't work together.It's kind of crazy, right?But I was just thinking a bit last night to be honest

I'd say since it happens when you try to walk, it's coming from either your foot or your back. I have severe back issues and have for years. After my numbness started in my foot I thought it was from the chemo.

I'd lie in bed and do different things, like bring my right foot high up on my other leg that was drawn up, and when the position of my back changed, I noticed the feeling trying to come back. I ordered this cream and I really think it's working. I've also fallen several times too so I'm sure I jarred things in my back. My foot issues didn't start until after I slipped off the outside steps and sprained it. I did not seek medical treatment for it though.

@malmor I installed the chatGPT app to see what it was then I un installed it. You only need 1 security app. I have Total defense security system. It's $40 a year and good for up to 5 devices. I just have it on my phone and desk top computer.

It really sounds that your nerves in your foot are dying slowly but in excess at certain times to make the foot like it is completely dead. My feet are racked with neuropathy which at times feels like my feet are going dead on me.
I've started supplements, after checking them very carefully...a lot of trash out there just to steal your money, but the ones I am taking each day are to increase the health of my nerves, increase the blood flow in my legs and feet, and I purchased an electric rotating foot excising machine with a hand held speed control. I can either work the steps manually with my own strength or use the remote control......i do both. After a couple of sessions each day,
I physically rotate my feet and ankles for a min. of 5 minutes to build up the muscles in my legs and feet then, I use crutches to walk with to exercise my legs as well as a treadmill with long handles to hold unto. I feel the strength coming back into my feet, ankles, and legs and I believe this forced and determined exercising is helping me to keep my blood flowing and improving the strength/muscles in my lower legs and you just have to do it....you must force yourself........be your own doctor, take control of your health, eat and drink and take only the good to put into your body, eliminate salt and sugar, two enemies of your overall health, prayers and best wishes to your health.

Thanks a bunch!! So many products out there hard to evaluate and I will order some. Certainly a reasonable price. Is interesting as a product for cancer. One of my nieces had breast cancer and painful neuropathy in her feet as a result of the chemo and is still suffering from it.
