Now I have more left foot issues, esp with swelling, but that seems to be another trigger. I have a huge surgical scar on that instep. Swelling stops on vacation, and comes back at home, but so far it has been dormant upon return. I haven't figured it out yet, but magnesium lotion on that foot keeps the swelling and additional pain down, as well. I think the stairs here aggravate it.


I apply magnesium potion in my insteps at bedtime after soaking it in warm water with Epsom salt. I think it helps with the feeling ot "tightness" in that area.

While I have respects for my last neuro, I'm confused with what he said about PN caused by autoimmune that its unlikely to be symmetrical. Maybe I will get more answers as I go along.....
