My answers are based on the mystery the doctor was having diagnosing my problem. I wished I had asked him what I could do to deal with my problem in the meantime [...]. I realized after getting home that I am feeling a lot of arthritis kind of symptoms in my feet, but I have serious numbness, tingling and loss of feeling in my toes after being in bed all night, when I sit too long in a recliner. He did not do anything wrong exactly, but he almost seemed to doubt me about this neuropathy I had been having for well over a year. It wasn't simple to get him to believe me that I have been miserable about several times per day with symptoms that I had never had before and want to stop the progression If at all possible. I wished he had suggested whether or not It is useful to try and do anything like soaking feet in hot? Or cold? Water to soothe the discomfort or other things. I have been losing weight and I told him which made him pleased. He knows that possibly a big problem Is… my spine with degenerative discs which nothing can be done about that. [...]
