Thanks for the welcome Debi. The first doctor I saw also wanted me to wear a boot, but I couldn't wear it to work because I have to be able to keep up with patients and have my balance to safely transfer them. He didn't get that at all. After that he told me to wear a lace up brace and it'd get better eventually which of course didn't happen. The next doctor ordered another type of brace that made the pain worse. The third doctor who finally ordered labs and an EMG said the braces won't help before he even knew for sure what it was (which I already knew).

Thanks Mrs. D. I didn't get a chance to read much about B12 last night, but I will. My vitamin D is also very low.

While I see that these things need fixed, I guess my main source of doubt is the dull pain...
