Dorothy's Story
Chronic foot pain in balls of both feet, inflamed feet and toes, pain in wrists and hand, pain in left leg from knee down to foot, week hands. Arthritic symptoms in hands and feet. Stiff hips and legs after sitting for long periods. This symptom is diminishing. The others still exist. Unable to exercise, play sports or anything else that places stress on the feet. I've spent thousands of dollars on doctor visits, lab tests and MRIs. Doctors are unable to diagnose my problem. I am able to fully work. |
