Lately I have been having an extreme amount of pain in my feet, to where they seem to "Claw Up". It feels like the middle of my foot is tightening up and pulling my front part of my foot in, like a bird clawing on to a branch to sit. It is extremely painful.
Well last night I started having really bad pain at the bottom of my spinal cord, shooting down my leg, so I figured maybe if I got up and tried to stretch out it would go away. When I went to stand, it was like I did not even have a right leg, other then the pain that was surging down it. I could not stand and my right leg was totally unresponsive. I tried to go a few feet from the couch but was stuck, I was leaning against the wall screaming in pain, because I could not move. I could not stand on my leg and the pain was immense
Thankfully my husband woke and heard me yelling, and he came to see what was going on. He had to help me to the bathroom, where I could take a bath and hope to calm what ever it was that was going on with my leg. We both looked at my feet and noticed my right foot was red and purple, while my left foot looked totally normal. So while I waited for the bath to fill I took my pain meds and a muscle relaxer. I just sat on the toilet seat and waited hoping the pain would go away.
I finally took a bath, and sat in the hot water for half an hour and thankfully it started to subside. To say the least I need to make an appt. with the neurologist today to see what the heck is going on. I was only a bit worried about the pain in my feet since it was not getting worse, but it seems now it is going past that point. I am wondering if it has to due with more scar tissue forming on the nerves from my surgery. I am very scared at this point, and think I may be getting worse. It seems the damage never stops, it just keeps progressing. It makes me wonder how long will I be mobile before this just completely takes over me. I hate that this surgery has done this to me, and I hate having to live like this.
