Well, not to burst your bubble here, but I did not have any pain. For me it was mostly numbness and tingling (pins and needles like) in my feet and lower legs. Add to that poor diet, massive amounts of alcohol (I liked my Vodka neat, no glass) and I lost the use of my legs. I could hobble from a bed to a bathroom but walking was out of the question.

When I was incarcerated (3 months) I was given a walker for 1 hour a day. When I was released I took it with me (dont tell them) and used that for about 3 months.

I ditched the walker in Feb 2012 for a cane.

Now I eat well, take the vitamin regime and walk about a mile a day just for giggles.

Oh, and NO alcohol....none.
