Painful walking and tingling, burning feet

May I ask what prescriptions did you stop taking?

Painful walking and lost the feeling on you feet?

I’m here.. the same things. Why? I already have TBI’s on my brain 12 yrs ago, BUT I feel down in my garage on the wooden steps and hit my overtop my legs. After that, physically no longer of cutting the grass, falling down a lot daily, can’t walk after the 5 mins; pain & unbalanced standing up; falling down often.

Think about my future —> this is good - real good. Because of my TBI, I can’t say of what is coming… but next mth I’m going to this doctor - he helped me just 12 yrs ago after that accident - will work from the bottom of my back and “fix it” - even before my TBI accident. He’s fixing of what happened on the nevuers (sp?) and moving them back. That doctor does a 6 hr day and according to him I can walk. No more unbalanced, and no pain… ok, the pain will change to a diff way and walking - daily according to him will take the next 4 mths.

I’m happy. Yes, I exercise now and decades ago, but according to him, no exercise for the next 4 mths, but walking over walking - daily.

At first, I can’t walk without holding my hands and wheels - that I already walking to church, restaurants, stores. I hope after that will not use this 4 wheels walking.

Acciring to the dr tells of computers of pix when he holds the hand-made and looking as he moves. 6 hrs - wow.

I’ve been there with pains, falling down, can’t do this or that and on. 12 yrs of my accident turn my life from my head to the bottom of my feet (bible part) and this coming time will get back of standing up and walk.

My Dr. took me off meloxicam and soon after that i started having all these problems of falling down,feet hurting,tingling and burning because he said it would eventually kill me.Coincidense?Not sure till July when i see him and tell him i want them.Death,maybe but happy till then.Not sure yet.

There is just so much that even the best neurologist can do. And we share the same incredible neurologist. In-put from rheumatologist and primary care physicians (all having been carefully selected based on their expertise, background, etc., same as done with neurologist) meets with a stone wall since again there is "just so much" that can be done. From past experiences, neurologists are quick to prescribe gapapentin and antidepressants that also are said to combat nerve pain. And past experiences have led us to say "No thanks" to that line of "treatment."
"There are avenues" that we explore, and decisions made as to which, if any, are worthwhile investing in and exploring. There is NO cure for many conditions, such as those that we both unfortunately deal with. So there does come the point when we face what we have, employ strategies, etc., that best work at reducing pain, discomfort, and learn to work around it within our lives.

TODAY is actually a "good day" for both of us! I retired early last night (before 9PM), coping with full body Pain Level 10/10 from one of my more serious painful conditions polymalgia rheumatica. This morning, I was able to stand, walk (taking small steps at first), and enjoy my coffee and GF bagel because pain had subsided down to a more tolerable 6/10. I was HAPPY with that! My husband had a fitful night due to neuralgic pain but slept a bit later and this morning was able to slowly emerge from the pain fog he'd been in. He's chipper, able to ambulate, and eager to accompany me to do a few short errands in our town because his feet are not cascading in neuropathic pain. When we return, we will both elevate our legs (I haven't bought a recliner yet so will use ottoman; he'll use his recliner) and rest while watching an early newscast. Having rested, I can then go into the kitchen and prepare a simple but "healthful" meal that we'll share. TODAY IS INDEED BETTER than was yesterday! And we celebrate and appreciate that😊.

I use 5% lidocaine patches prescribed by my podiatrist to control the nerve pain in my feet at night. I place the patches on the tops of my feet where the epidermis is thinner.

Mrs. Delia28,
Congrats for your retirement! And getting your (or his) ottoman.

Sitting down is good & little or no pain from legs or feet - I’ve been there until 3 weeks ago. My Doctor A (2 mths ago to have a choose between me & my wife) fixed and ended the pain from my 2 rear ends down to the bottom, BUT this happened 2 years ago, I fell down of my garage and hit my rear ends. I lost my body of pain, lost my balance, lost some feeling on the bottom of my right leg, BUT that pain I could not walk past 15 feet. Thankfully, the pain is gone, but I need to exercising daily of holding of walking a 4 or 2 holler or just exercising stretch from my legs. How long? I don’t know - for now
