I have no idea how the Mayo Clinic found me but I started to respond to a post regarding incontinence, which I have been dealing with for about five years now and I pretty much have that issue under control. Then I started looking around and found this subject with what appears to be many many people experiencing roughly the same thing. It all started one November morning in 2019. I got up to make coffee and realized when I got up I couldn't really walk. I shuffled one foot in front of the other to get to the kitchen. I made the coffee and I almost made it back to the bed. I got within six feet and my wife hea help me the rest of the way. I found a great pain / back dr and have been with him. As of two weeks I've had 11 epidurals since 2019. The last one was three weeks ago and I'm not feeling great. Like so many people here, I'm having issues with balance, left leg, right leg, arms hands, shoulders are all areas I experience Neuropathy. Many lumbars are putting pressure on various nerves which explains why I am experiencing it in so many areas. I also have a recently discovered bone spur in my nect. (Sigh). As I mentioned my last Epidural was about three weeks ago and things haven't changed that much. I had a ray of hope when my doctor's office just happen to be taking delivery on a machine that outputs a magnetic pulses on the nerve endings. I took them up on their offer. At first I was very hopefull but the pain came back.I literally feel the pain so many of you are in, I have a telehealth appointment tomorrow with a tchnician. I know her first question is going to along the lines of "So have you noticed an improvement . Yes, I suppose I have in my arms and shoulders. It comes and goes. and neck. My legs are what bothers me the most. Currently I'm taking Advil for my arms and legs. It helps with the pain. I'm curious to know what other people are doing to handle the pain. In the midle of all this, my Scaiatical nerve decided to make an appearance in my right leg. So far 400 mg of Advil seem to get rid of enough pain so I don't feel terribly old! I do have a follow up appt tomorrow with my dr. however I am curious what do other folks do to deal with the pain? Thanks and look forward to hearing from you. CaptainKap
