This is such a great site...Today's appt w/neurologist was rescheduled to 6/18, so now more waiting...really anxious to see what the blood tests say (probably nothing if they are putting me off an add'l 3 wks)... My foot pain has decreased since I started taking the metanx but it is still there--just not as bad (yeah!). I also started pt and Lyrica was increased so that is probably a factor in the decreased pain too--hard telling which is helping the most at this point. But now thinking it's just a pinched nerve in my back that was never totally resolved...

What is bugging me almost as much as the feet though, is ankle swelling. It started a couple of months ago with slight swelling from the back of each ankle bone to the other. It's now gotten worse to the point that most days I cannot see or feel my ankle bones without pressing firmly. I had the circulation test where they use blood pressure cuffs on all 4 limbs a while back and was deemed to have good circulation. I'm also doing Anodyne therapy which should increase the circulation... Is this something you deal with also or is it not pn related? The only thing that seems to help it go down is elevation but it comes back soon after the feet hit the floor. Suggestions?
