Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was wondering if anyone else here has had this problem, I over did it yesterday and was on my feet to much, today I can't walk heal to toe at all, in fact I can hardly walk. My back hurts enough that I have been taking extra pain medication since last night, my back and feet still hurt terribly, but more concerning to me is how my feet aren't functioning right from the walking I did, I can not walk heal to toe, I am walking with my feet going straight down, so I'm wondering if my reflexes will show this? I already know I won't be able to get into see the nurologist I see, or any other doctor without more notice, so I'm wondering if this warrents a visit to the ER? I hate ER's but need to know once and for all if my walking is affecting the reflexes in my feet? Any feed back will be appreciated. ilene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ilene give it a couple of days to work itself out. The E. R. won't do anything for you except tell you to see your regular doctor. Time heals many things.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'd probably give it a day or so and see if it improves, to see if it was overexertion. But you may want to call your neurologist or other doctor and ask their advice. There is usually a nurse line you can leave a message on and someone will ask the doctor your question and get back to you within the business day. and the gang -- jacdobe@...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 The ER will not do diddly squat for you. For the most part, I find they think most of my problems are in my head. And if I am having a severe 'pain event', they tell me a couple advil should do the trick... Not their fault though, they have to be careful. Somebody might misuse the meds and sue them... Things probably swelled up in your feet and legs. Take an anti-inflammatory like aspirin, as long as it is something that you can use with your other meds. A nice HOT bath, with maybe some Epsom salts in there will do wonders (glass of wine on the edge of the tub... few candles, doesn't hurt either...). You can buy a whirl pool like thing in K Mart, to blow bubbles in there. A Jacuzzi would be the best. Unfortunately I do not have one, although I keep asking Santa Clause for one... Keep your feet up too. Let the swelling go down. in NH walked a lot yesterday, can not walk today I was wondering if anyone else here has had this problem, I over did it yesterday and was on my feet to much, today I can't walk heal to toe at all, in fact I can hardly walk.
