As for exercise I do vigorous work every day. I feel great when I'm doing it, and won't stop, however, I notice that on the weekends when not working, my pain lessens.
I'm only 30 and can't bear the thought of not walking, although the numbness in my lower legs and moderate/severe bil lateral carpel tunnel lead me to believe that I will have to accept that I won't be running myself into the ground for much longer.
The other week I was wearing tights under my dress and my ankles and calves turned purple .. so frightening. Has to be circulation related ..no?
