Re: Neuropathy, Shingles or pinched nerve
Kristin,
Interesting.
I was at the doctor today mentioning how my right foot is hurting on the top-I don't know if it's because it looks like I'm getting a bunion or a pinched nerve. It's been hurting for months now (like someone has stomped on it) off and on and last night was hurting so badly with waves of pain and today....nothing.
The doctor suggested an x-ray to see if there's a possible fracture but I had a sternal met that didn't show on an x-ray so I don't know how helpful that would be. I do remember the foot hurting alot last year when I had chemo.
I've been wearing orthotics for about a year now and that has helped my feet feel supported, so I'm thinking maybe I should get the right orthotic adjusted because my feet changed somehow from the chemo. What about seeing a podiatrist?
Caroline
