OK, I will try to keep emotions out of this post. My orthopedist ordered a nerve test on me. I told him that I was feeling like I have some gloves and socks in the morning. It feels prickly as it tightens and slowly the pain increases. I also to a lesser extent feel sometimes feel a really tight pair of ondies when I don't. I also every once in a while get pin and needles on the left side of my brain. This really scares me. I have a protrusion, mild stenosis and why I was there in the first place. He tells me with a smile on his face, there is no nerve damage and every thing is working fine. I asked him if nerve damaged was the only possible cause to have those feelings. So, I then pulled out my cell phone and showed him the picts attached. I told him that my feet get hot, burning, red and pain for no apparent reason around 1 AM in the morning. The pain is worse on the left and the skin on my toes feel as if it is going to reap. Obviously I can not arrange a visit with him at that time. Hmm, he said, sounds vascular. So, I said, my sister has Deep Vein Thrombosis is this related to vascular. He said no. Thanks everybody.
