Thank you for your kind words. My main concern is not pain, as my pain is manageable, it is the frustrating numbness. So hard to button a shirt, or just turn the pages of a book. I also find myself tripping a lot more now due to poor sense of foot placement. My doc said stay away from pain meds as they might make the numbness even worse.

I also found myself tripping, in fact, flat on my face 3 times and finally decided that having a pancake face was not for me. I was in PT at the time and my therapist got my primary doc to prescribe AFO's which have worked out well. I deal with lots of numbness from toes to below the knees. Please write down the times you almost fall or trip and contact your primary doctor with the times on paper, that will mean a lot. Be safe and wish you the best and no matter what, not falling has to be a primary goal. Ed
