Still In Pain and Dealing With It

In the month of Febuary, I woke up with numbing,tingling and burning pain in my legs and feet. I couldn’t walk, it hurt so bad. It felt like I was walking on pins and needles.They were so cold to the touch,but burned ,also.The weirdest pain I felt ever in my life.I just had turned 39 the month before.I had to stop playing sports that I have enjoyed so much.Can’t run with my children anymore cause it hurts.Can’t stand up for too long,or walk as much as I used to without getting overly tired so quickly.Doctors did tests on me for months, no medicine,no anything for the pain.I was so lonely, depressed and helpless.

Until finally,June 2009. I have Neuropathy I can’t stand this feeling.On medicines,but their not treating the pain like I want them to.Well I can say this, because walking is difficult for me, I do alot of bike riding daily.It does help.I take lots of vitamins twice daily as doctor has told me to do so.I am still looking for a pain medicine that will take that pain away.I hope doctors can find that soon.
