Neuropathy is just the name of how your feet are reacting to your lower back problems. The pesky L3, L4, L5 and L6 vertebrae are all connected to legs and feet along with the pain. Pinched nerves do some weird things. Not scheduled yet, but I am supposed to have fusion done for L4 and L5 this spring. In the meantime I have Neuropathy in my feet as well as reduced control of my legs. Not bad, just enough to make mobility something that isn't just natural like it was in my younger years (last year).

Yep, I have had herniated L4-L5 and L5-S1 since 2005.

Got rear-ended by a van last October, and that may have shifted things just enough that when I stopped physical therapy, this new symptom got much worse. (At first, I thought it was athlete’s foot!)

I wondered if neuropathy was just a term for the symptom, but if a neurologist can be an idiot, this one was.

First he said it couldn’t be my back because it doesn’t hurt at the same time as the foot. Then he said to stand up and close my eyes and asked if I was losing my balance. I said I guess a little, and he said that means you have neuropathy. Then he sent me for some blood tests and I never went back.

Carefully, very carefully;) and there are certain things I always wear gloves for
That said I'm used to having them a bit longer and blingyer during the holidays and cut them back to a "more normal" length with less bling at the first design change of the new year
btw these are nothing compared to what some salons do. Mine would be considered short and basic

Balance without dizziness points to neuropathy because basically neuropathy is just a diminished automatic muscle reaction (numbness, so to speak) that means your feet are not reacting automatically to your minor changes in standing stature and your brain has to take over and adjust your movements to prevent you from falling over making it less of a problem if you have your eyes open.

You're not part of the elderly (yet) but it is a common problem with the elderly and reason for the increased number of falls at a later age. Neuropathy isn't confined to feet and also can be a warning sign of diabetic problems. Usually the first thing they look at for this problem is if one is diabetic if not then they look for disc problems. Which is also a concern for people that are in the music business and rely on disc's to make a living. That might uniquely apply to you. ;) Spinal Disc's are a different type, of course, but more difficult to get solved.

The past year has forced me to know a lot more about this problem then I ever cared to know.

Has anyone watched Strange World? E asked me to ask because she had no interest in it from the trailer, but then some blogger she likes was raving about it so she wants to know if that's a fluke or a general consensus.

We watched Avatar : the Way of Water on Christmas day and we liked it. We especially liked the world-building elements like the different tribes and the animals. Very cool.

Same, everyone I heard that saw the movie.. said that the movie got unwarranted hate.
Mostly for knee jerk neo conservatives who only parrot "woke" as a battle chant to put things down.

I'm probably going to check it tonight.
I still want to see Harbour's Santa movie first :D
