Hi, i have been dealing with pain in my foot and leg for some time now, 5 years in April. I am getting pain in side of my foot, I had my toes amputated in February 23, the pain starts along outside of left foot and runs up my leg to knee, I had a similar pain in 2020 just after I scolded my foot, they tried doing mri scan to find out what was causing the pain, there was a large swelling too, but the pain is getting worse. I am taking all the medication I can, when the codeine and paracetamol wear off, the actual pain in my foot, neuropathy, it is like a really severe throbbing, gets really bad, it goes across my stump too, that feels sore. All these different pains are too much, they are getting worse, no matter how much gabapentin, codeine, or what ever I take, the pain is always there and it is worsening, they say my foot is finally healing, perhaps the pain is getting worse because it is healing, I don't know, there is a limit to how much anyone can cope with.
My right leg, although there is no current wound, I had my little toe removed the same time I had my operation on my left foot but that has given me no pain or nothing over the years. Both legs feel really heavy though and I get some throbbing in that leg also. There was an ulcer on back of leg so I have to be careful. Neuropathy again I assume!

Hi, no I haven't been diagnosed with crps, I have been diagnosed with diabetes though, today the pain is being good, but last night it was pretty awful, there is definitely something they have not picked up on, I wonder if I have tendonitis in my ankle, apparently you can get it. I had similar pain in 2020. Who knows?
I was on painkillers for almost six years for lower back pain , spasms headaches neuropathy only to be diagnosed with multiple myeloma after I insisted on going for muscular skeletal team. Lost my job had to drop out of university. I am now recovering from chemotherapy and stem transplant. At times the doctors just miss it and in the end it’s the patient who suffers. I am now suffering from depression and anxiety because I don’t know whether the cancer will return because it’s only treatment but no cure.
No, that is no fun, no matter how much I tell the nurses how much I am hurting, I don't think they really listen to us, th ey are only concerned with the bit which concerns them. There are so many people involved, it gets complex. Pain can be really debilitating at times and hard to cope with.
The quality of the fuel you put in your body can help with healing pain. Firstly before you think i am a sanctimonious self righteous dick. i am a 23 stone hypocrite who knows what they need to do to get well, but hasnt the commitment to actually do it unless i am in pain or terribly unwell.
i have a cure for toothache and its been so bad at one point, I took an accidental overdose that gave me a small heart attack. that was me at age 33, 55 now. I found that nerve pain, responds to a good diet of wholefood plant based food. I refer to this diet, when Ive been bad, and ate too much sugar which causes afib, also, I refer back to it when i get nerve pain in my heels on waliking. After 2 days of eating Kale spinach, carrots,potatoes, beans, and cutting out all sugar, processed shittty foods fast foods fat and wheat. The pain goes.
Nerves get damaged by sugar and wheat, terribly, it causes inflammation that causes muscle and tissue to bloat up and put the nerves under pressure making them ring. I get a lot of stabbing nerve pain, when im not good. But within days, it reduces and after weeks, it disappears. Im now getting to the stage where i have to make the change for good and be committed to it. i feel for anyone suffering chronic pain as i had weird and strange pains constantly after a heart procedure for the afib, that lasted 10 years.
Nothing has had such a great impact as the Plant based /wholefood diet. As when inflammation dies down, the natural healing mechanism, kicks in and fixes the body.
The western diet, through cancer and heart diseases is the biggest killer in the world.
Hi, Yes, I have just been diagnosed with diabetes, i have always eaten healthy but obviously not enough, i have gone on to quenoa, and other types of foods and even just after a week, i feel different, they pack our food with so much rubbish, it doesn't help us, sugar, it is bad how much sugar is in our food, its not easy though.
