Question About Neuropathy

Rhi, I'm with you on the worrying and I'm not usually someone who does much worrying!! I think it is our new normal!! When I had my original pet scan on diagnosis the person doing the scan came over to me and said....so tell me about your knees.......I said......yes I have arthritis in both my knees......then he said....so what about your back...looks like you have some mild arthritis there as well.......to tell you the truth I had very few back aches so I was kind of surprised by what he had to say......but I did have some occasionally. So flash forward to December 2014 - 2 1/2 years later......I wake up everyday with a backache.....it takes me about 2 hrs. to be able to walk normally......is it just the arthritis rearing its ugly head, do I need a new mattress? (ours is about 15 years old) or was there something going on back then that has gotten worse?? I think it's hard when you are right in the sweet spot. My onc. told me if it's going to come back it usually will do it around 2-3 years. I guess time will tell.

I can't answer your question on the neuropathy. I got a bit of it in my feet and hands. Mostly what I noticed right from the beginning....I can't open jars like I used to!! Hopefully someone will come along to answer your question.
