In july it will be 30 years since I had an injury that left me with extensive nerve damage in my foot and leg, but for most of that time I managed to stay active and mobile through exercise. It was only this last decade that running became too difficult and the redness and pain began to spread. I never knew about the problems that can arise from nerve pain, or that I was staving off the progression through exercise.

I am still working on a diagnosis as the injury, in my case, is extremely visible so health care providers have a difficult time seeing beyond it. What I've been finding out is that knowledge, research, questions and discussions are our greatest tools to understand this affliction and in many cases, beating it back in to remission. Good luck to you! and welcome to the forum.
