sallys Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Still on the subj. of neuropathy with question. Christine's article was very informative. My question....muscle weakness/wasting...I notice when I walk my legs and lower back muscles become very sore since I developed neuropathy. Is this part of neuropathy? No matter how much I walk, the soreness is always there. I never got sore like this before and I have always walked lots. So besides the numbness and tingling and sometimes painful, but not really bad pain except for the muscles being so very sore and weak. love and prayers for all...Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sally I don't know if that is a yes or no question, but you could very well have back issues or lower back problems. (sorry not trying to add more to your plate)! Have you talked this over with your doctor's? Have you seen a Neruologist? Hope your feeling better soon. I have lower back pain and it's not fun. But it's not neuropathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sally, As mentioned by Connie might want to see an Neurologists. I have the same problem (muscles being very sore and weak) but it is more due to myopathy, pinched nerves/arthritis going up my spine and neck then my neuropathy. Hope this helps.

sallys Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yes I have had 2 back surgeries with fusion, battery, wires, nuts and bolts in my back. But the MRI done 2 weeks ago shows no sign of nerve involvement, spinal problem or cancer in the lower back. I have walked lots and never had this problem before until surgery and chemo. And since the neuropathy, I thought maybe that would be the cause. I also seem to be dropping things...today my bowl of ice cream with caramel and hot fudge on it all over the carpet...duhhhh but never fear there was more after I cleaned up the mess with the help of my dog Thanks for the comments...Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Oh Sally, WOW you too have had more then one person should go through in a life time. I can relate! I sure hope you can get to the bottom of this issue real soon. Neuropathy is a horrible thing to have. ((((((((SALLY)))))))))) Thank God for our dogs!
