New here and a little worried
Hi guys,
So I was just at the neurologist and he suspects my feet pain may be genetic neuropathy. We are taking the appropriate next steps as far as testing goes, but Im just seeking a little solice in community here because the idea of having an incurable, progressive disorder is a tad worrying to me as Im only 25.
I have equal pain in both feet that has been progressively getting worse but its onset was so gradual I never took note of it so I dont know for sure how long I have had it. Maybe about 10 years.
If I stand or walk for longer than a couple minutes, my feet get increasingly painful. Until the pain is so bad, even hours after im off of them the pain is enough to keep me up at night. I also get tingling sensations pretty much constantly now and I have started getting random sharp shooting pains near the soles every now and again.
Im not looking for a diagnosis, my doctor can handle that, but Im just seeking a little reassurance that this isnt gonna be worst case scenario cant walk in 10 years kind of thing.
Anyway, TIA!
