Q: No Power In Left Leg Or Foot? No Diagnosis. 28 Yr. Female
asked by: fmc on September 3rd, 2004

Hi,

about 8 weeks ago, my wife (28 yrs old) developed a slight pain in her left foot, quickly followed by some swelling in her left calf. About a week later, she lost all power in her left foot (symptomatic of drop foot). Over the next 3 weeks or so, she eventually lost all feeling in her left leg and the muscle & tissue began to waste. In the last three weeks, an mri, ct scan, lumbar puncture and visits to three neurologists have drawn a blank! The last consultant advised her that it was very unlikely she's ever be able to walk correctly again. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what to try next.

Yours thankfully,

fmc Sad

Are there any natural clinics or natropaths in your area?? If there are I would go to them and make an appointment. They can do all sorts of things from energy work to essential oils and herbs.
My grandmother had the same sort of problem a few months ago. She had the extream pain and swelling and begining of atrophe to her leg. They did all the tests they could and couldn't come up with anything, until they did the last test they could think of doing. They discovered she had a collapsed vien and her hip was loosing its cartalige and pinching nerves that led to her leg.
I hope you figure out something to help.
All my best to you and your wife.
Good luck
