numbfoot,
Are you talking to me?
I'm a 64 y.o. male.
PN Dx'd 1998, major suffering since 1992-93
Random foot pain since the '80's.
Both feet & legs to the knee. Both hands and forearms.
Supposedly 'alcoholic' neuropathy (some disagreement there)
as "predominately sensory axonal polyneuropathy
of length dependent nature". (Johns Hopkins)
CTS in both hands, right needing cortisone shots every 10 mos or so (to stave off surgery that I cannot give the recovery time to).
Pain levels, w/o meds 7-9. With Lyrica 3-5, sometimes a 2.
Pain under control well enough to continue to work - self employed (30 yrs).
