Hi;
I'm a 52 year old MD wheelchair user of 9 years due to MS. I also suffer from
peripheral neuropathy in the feet that originated from a crush injury 19
years ago. The feet that are not usable hurt so badly at times that it can
cause fainting. I've seen a lot of doctors; 3 algologists, 2 orthopedists, 2
physiatrists, and a surgeon. They have recommended all manner of treatments.
Nothing helps; but we have agreed to try a spinal stimulator which will be
done soon. If this doesn't work I have accepted amputation as a last resort.
I welcome any input the group could offer.
