    I feel your pain, sometimes I think about just getting my legs and feet took off from the knee down, who needs then when they hurt so bad. I know people with prosthetics, in my case I'm gonna lose them anyway. I have accepted that but this getting 2 that point is killing me.

      It started with a swollen ankle that was numb when I was 26, that's still swollen and to this day, guess fluid protecting my ankle, then to plantar facitiis in the foot where that ankle is, and to knee pain and now tens years later it's full blown in my left foots, nerve damage I reckon still waiting on the nerve conduction study. I have Alot of health problem. Also CVI in my legs, Venous stasis and venous insufficinecy, etc. For pain I take tramadol at bed, perc during the day if needed, pain cream and patches, tens unit and Mirapex for RLS. It's never completely gone. My feet and hands are the worst painful issue I have, sleep in wrist braces to help with numbness thru the night. Hope helps, maybe.
