Peripheral Neuropathy - Anyone else?

Some body are you experiencing the same thing as I am.

Also I have numbness in my left arm wearing a brace to hold my arm from the elbow to the wist . Have gone to PT waiting for a ok from Dr. Trying to be proactive about what I going through. Disillusion!

I must have bought 30 pairs of shoes after a revision procedure went wrong two years ago that gave rise to peripheral neuropathy and CRPS. None felt comfortable walking with inflamed metatarsals and numb toes.

Used to walk for miles, now limp around the supermarket. Feel very bitter since this never should have happened, but I didn't have enough 'proof' for medical malpractice suit. This WAS elective surgery after all - MY decision, and MY ruinous outcome.
Is the only recourse pain pills or a spinal cord stimulator implant?

They are also very light weight & kinda cute.

Not sure what surgery you had, but I'm sorry & know how you feel. I had vein ablation a year ago that made my neuropathy so much worse. Of course, I was told that increased circulation would be so great, but instead they banged into nerves during the procedure. Now I have numbness & swelling that I never had before, added to the pain. "Used to walk for miles, now limp around the supermarket" sums it up for me too (as well as the bitterness). This shoe is not bad: Naturalizer Macayla Pelican Grey Sneakers. You can have a look on Ebay. I just bought another pair this morning. They have a zipper on the side, so if they start feeling tight, you can just unzip them. Not a long haul walking shoe, but who can do that anymore, right?

Good morning 2 U all. It's nice to hear from others who are going through the same issues that I am going through. I felt so alone and thought that I was losing my mind. No help from my PCP either known her over 35+ yrs. She I would think know me like her favorite book. I really don't like talking to her about my struggles because I don't want her or anyone thinking I am one of those people who complained all the time.

Thank you - will look for them

Thank you so much!!! Will look for them.

I feel that way too - In a fairly new marriage and try not to say too much - He does go with me to doctors and realizes what I am going through; but, I'm sure he is thinking life isn't as wonderful as he thought it would be!!

Sorry to hear that. My so called acquaintances rather me not to call them. They haven't said it in so many words but I know. Trying not to call them either. Hard to meet new acquaintances I called them that. Stay in your lane and I will do the same thing to. I don't think about it anymore Hope you handle your business with hubby be strong and up front with your partner. Don't let anybody rain on your day.
