Default HI

Hi, I did have an incident a few months ago where I got out of my vehicle and felt my left leg/knee buckle underneath me. I did catch myself, but it was the strangest feeling. I do have weak knees anyway. I think I have osteoarthritis in those as well as my whole spine. My left knee always hurts.

I am "kind of" undiagnosed at this point. I mean, I guess I do have some kind of neuropathy, but we don't know what kind, or what it's caused from. Otherwise, I can feel my feet and my legs, I do know however, I do have a lack of sensation from the knees down. My biggest complaint is the burning feet/ankles.

At sometime during this eight month span , this has fallen to the wayside and I had completely forgotten. I would be interested in hearing from other veterans concerning this ,and your own experiences of progress and postive signs. ( hopefully)--tom
