Hello everyone. I just signed up and am having difficulty navigating my way through this support group.
I am having problems with peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I am on lyrica for about a month for electrical spasms from my right buttock down my leg to my foot. The medication has helped with that. But recently my feet have gotten worse with the tightness. There is no numbness and no pain. Just the tight feeling. I have complained to my doctor for about 5 years that something has been happening. I have sciatic pain when I sit too long. I had a bad fall onto my back about 6 years ago. I am currently waiting for an MRI. I am 62 years old, female and retired in 2015.
I am looking for support. I need to know what this is and what I can do about it. I have always been extremely active. Do I have a future to look forward to in a wheelchair or amputation? I am not diabetic. I am quite scared about all this. Please let me know if anyone has similar symptoms. Thank you.
