hi guys

does anyone know anything about femoral nerve neuropathy? Strictly speaking it is not peripheral neuropathy (or so I have read) but the distinction is lost on me. Neuropathy is neuropathy.

I now have a fairly limited ability to lift my left leg, and do a lot of 'leg dragging' when I walk. I have lupus, and this is just more of the same old same old for me, but it is very annoying. I am ok just walking around the house or at work, but as soon as I walk any distance at all my leg starts feeling like a dead weight.

I hate this stupid disease - honestly, I am so over it. I have an appointment with my rheumatologist this week (my main doctor who treats my lupus - this is just part of my lupus) plus I see my neuro in March.

I also have sensori-motor axonal neuropathy

cheers
