I have a few questions. Things have taken a nosedive around here. I think I mentioned a stress fracture in my left ankle. They put me in a boot. Then while walking in the boot, I developed a stress fracture in my right foot. Yes, that's right,..both feet.

Then I started having some increased back pain and more neuropathy type symptoms extending up and slightly past my shoulder blade area. I figured it was the crutches, hobbling, picking up fat puppies, etc. This means the neuropathy is now including my body from the waist up most of the way. Already have it in feet, hands, legs and lower body. It feels like I have a huge blood pressure cuff squeezing me until it is painful along with all the burning vibrating stuff. Now it has started squeezing me thru the ribcage area. It was just legs.

Today I saw my neuro. She did the usual little hammer reflex things, had me walk, etc. Then she suddenly said, I'm going accross the hall and arrange for you to have an MRI today. They worked me in an hour later. She's worried about my back. She said the reflexes were too good. Rather hyperactive. Not good she says. I don't understand this. I thought we wanted hyperactive reflexes. So we would catch things, step on brakes, dodge puppies etc. Can anyone help me understand what is wrong with reflexes being hyperactive?

I won't have test results til Monday.
