Associated reaction


Vix

738 views

So, here's the thing...The associated reaction has moved from my left hand to my left toes. It used to be a clenched fist if I sneeze, was tense or cold, now my toes curl under. This is a problem that now affects my walking. I not only have to concentrate on relaxing my knee, now I also have to uncurl my toes. Good grief - remember when getting up to go to the loo was as natural as breathing? Now it's a major mental exercise!!!!

 

I am now 3yrs 8 months down the line - I wonder what is next on the road to recovery?

I am in the same situation at almost 5 years now...and it seems to be getting worse fast. My fist is trying to close up. My knees especially the left one hurts so bad. The VA now want to give me a replacement but still deny giving me compensation.

 

If it's not bad and service connected...then why do they want to replace it??? They think I'm crazy I guess. I know from my experience what you are going through and that's why I'm on short term disability right now, I can hardly walk.

 

Take care and I'm praying we will get better one day Vix.

Vix,

 

Hope you find relief. I'm darn close to my 4 year mark (1-1-05). I think my toes would be doing the curling thing if it were not for my AFO. As much of a pain as it is and I want to be free of it, it does have it's benefits I guess.
