One of my operations left me with no feeling below my left knee. It has now settle into just my left foot and above. From no feeling at all, it is now starting to burn and be very painful even though I still have no movement. Any ideas??

I use cane and wheelchairs because I have no feeling below both knees. To the airline yesterday, I referred to them as my living prosthetics........

All I do is cope, and the cane comes in handy with its crook if I want to cross a leg. Just lift it up via the crook. Oh, NO...... does that make me a "crooked" lawyer???????? My family would die groaning at that joke.

Now that uproarious laughter helped me feel better today. Time is good when topped with a bit of hardy har har.

I did and have had to deal with some foot drop stuff, because my legs are basically just living prosthetics below the knees. So, the feet do not usually cooperate, and will drop down at the most inconvenient time, sometimes tripping me.

But I have to say, the last time I dropped a foot, I just picked it back up, got some duct tape and put it back on.........

I hear groaning in the distance.

Hey, if we do not laugh at ourselves just a tiny bit, then we are taking things a mite too seriously.

Hi. When I had radial nerve palsy, and had no feeling from the mid forearm down, manual range of motion of the effected side with my good hand helped. So did some warm water soaks.

When you have no ability to move a body part and or no feeling, range of motion exercises, even if you are moving the body part with your hands, will keep circulation going and prevent contractures or "foot dropsy". At night, you can also place a padded, firm surface that will keep your foot in an uprght position.

Re. Drop foot .. Is your foot cold or warm? Mine is warm .. Circulation seems to be ok but still no feeling, ?...
