I am in England, and did not have a MRI since got injuried, never visited a neurologist (NHS cutting costs ![]() The symptoms at right lower leg, most concentrated on the foot, include stiffness, extreme temperatures sometimes is burning hot and some days like today is icing freezing cold, the nerve pain, pins and needles and constant numbness. Very poor circulation, lacks mobility, the swelling is low most of days, and sometimes i get cramps. My balance is bad, i describe my walking as a duck one! Since the accident there was improvements on sensations, moves, skin colour, pain and sweeling, all lessen, but still present and no improvements anymore, for two years now. Im on Gabapentin 300mg and Tramadol 50mg 4 times a day. They can help to control the pain, but the stiffness never goes away and temperature is always different than good foot. I reduced my tablets with the help of weekly acupuncture sections (i highly recommend acupuncture to everyone who suffer with Pain). This winter pain and coldness is worsening and im question myself if i did right in reducing... I will see a GP next 30th and will ask for referral to Pain Management (but i doubt he will give me) Its a lotery get appointments with specialist here. It was told me that to acess a private doctor is very expensive. sorry for the long message, every help is very welcome thank you for your support and patience in reading lots of love |
