Gardening chores have taken a back seat this week, due to my feankiplumlego. This involves the feet, ankles, hips, lumbar spine, and legs primarily on the right side.

Was not able to put any weight on the right foot at all. Last time it struck, it took a couple of months to get back to where I could walk well with a cane. Hoping it's a light spell this time. Seems to be. Am able to walk with the cane and about 50% weight on the carpeted areas, so progress has been better so far.

I'm so sorry. I hope that you're better soon!

Thanks, I am not sure what exactly it is, but I do know that walking around the basement without shoes and standing in the kitchen with out rubber mats seems to agravate it.

My practioner told me a long time ago, that there was a limited number of things that could cause it, and all of them would be treated with adequate orthotic support, so we didn’t really do any xrays or anything.

Whenever it strikes, I just get religious about wearing shoes and getting rubber mats placed in appropriate standing area in the kitchen.
