Living with Neuropathy

Hi My Name Is Tammy,

On the 14th of June I was in my pool and a storm started to open the sky. When the lightning started I got scared and I rushed down the pool latter. I made the first step but I missed the last three and my left foot got caught in the latter. When I finally landed I left foot then fell on our hard plastic foot bath and broken it in two places.

I went to the ER a couple of hours later. This Saturday (which is today 8/16/2008) it will make it nice week of severe burning pain (which is from outer ankle across the top of the foot to the inner ankle which goes up my leg and numbness on the top part of my foot. During this time my foot just got worse and would not heal. I had two different sets of X-Rays and an MRI which both was Normal.

Then I received an EMG the 15th of this month. the specialist would only tell me that I got Neuropathy in both feet. My right outer ankle I broke a bone that is behind the outer ankle but I have no burning pain or numbness. On the 18th of this month I will be going back and seeing my Orthropedic Specialist to find out the rest of the result of my EMG.

Meanwhile I have been doing research online and finding out some interesting information. Like this site. So, I thought of sharing my info.
