I have had excellent care over the last 21 Yrs but everything has been tried except help at the Pain Rehab Center. I am in a critical point where I have horrible flares following times I do things like walk moderate pace two miles or clean a bathroom. I had an epidural at T3 in 2010 and my Rt leg flew up when I felt a severe electric shock shoot down my Rt hip, leg and foot, especially the heel. It shocked me a little in the left heel also. Obviously the dr stuck the needle into my spine too deeply. I lost 50% of my Rt hip flute and some of the muscle on the far Rt lower side where it connects with the ankle. Just this last mo I have started having nerve pain in my Rt foot when I walk. I think this injury adds to my flare situation. Do u?
I do not have a physical therapist bc every time I wk with one the flare are so painful that pain is breaking down my body. My skin flakes and wrinkles so badly.
Since

My PCP told me daily increased cortisol which comes with chronic pain causes muscle steal which I do have. I am going to do better re gentle exercise and find my tolerance level. I forgot to say that I was gluten intolerant 30 Yrs before I was diagnosed so my Villi absorption of nutrients is prob poor (I am gluten free), plus I have Pancreatic insufficiency (I do take prescription digestive enzymes). Therefore I’ve lost a lot of muscle.
