Neuropathy

[livingwith]

Hi I’m 37, and I’ve been suffering for a long time. Last summer it got much worse. I got pain in the bottoms of my feet. mainly the bottom of my heels.
Wanted to do things but found it was just too hard to walk. Next my legs started hurting, on an upward motion.
my knees and elbows broke out with what seemed like hives. once they finally healed they were stained a light red. Also the pain had moved up my back, I got a stiff neck that would not go away for like 2 months. Also my ha...Read the full article

I feel the same as you I am depressed and hopeless Everyone thinks I am lying when I say this is pain Sometimes if I step on my feet too hard it triggers the pain When im overheated My hands turn fire red. It has spread from my feet to my legs now my arms and hands Also my back and now I suffer from incontinence. I am only 25 years old and I know what you mean about the neurontin I also take that Its like the doctor said here take this itll hold it off for a while after that you are on your own. I take Lyrica and neurontin I also take zoloft they say for my pain but I think she thinks im depressed which i am but havent admitted it to her. This makes you hate life or at least me. Whats the joy if you are always in pain??? Anytime you want to chat [moderator note: e-mail address has been removed] Tonya

Hi It sounds like you need to see a Neurologist and have a N.C.V and a EMG Test if you still cant find out what you need to know you sholud have a MRI. I go to The Spine Center For Pain Management and i also have a Neurologist. I have Sensorimotor Pollyneuropathy in my lower extremities and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both wrist and Spinal Stenoses and a Pinche Nerve in my back. You Have many problems and you need to find some quick professional answers. It does not sound like you have Neuropathy but only a Neurologist can tell for sure.

Good Luck and don't give up until you find the right doctor.

Don't lose hope. It has taken me since 2003 to find a great neuro. & internist but we are finding out what is wrong. Raynauds, Hughes Syndrome, pre-diabetes and epilepsy. The internist thinks I may have Lupus too. There's chronic pain, fatique, wide spread muscle spasms, nerve pain (stabbing, burning, numbness) Sun sensitivity, hands and feet are on fire with exposure. Burn with spf 45 and red cheeks that has blisters when in sun. Times I have been unable to walk (pain in buttdocks), unable to move leg to walk, finger moving on own and seizures. A doctor that will listen will help you. I cried alot and everyone wanted to say it was depression. When I stopped getting emotional and made light of it by laughing and making jokes I was taken seriously. I know it's scary. Nothing funny about it.

HI!! I've read your story..be brave!! Have faith.. If you 're only here in the Philippines i can recommend my neurologist here so you'll be taken cared off. I know how it feels when you actually experiences pain and numbness. I just want to ask if you already undergo EMG? Its actually to test your nerve and muscle
