I am turning 49 years old tomorrow and have been living with MGUS since I turned 40. I did eventually get Multiple Myeloma two years ago and went through treatment. As a result I developed pain in my feet and ankles. I can't even wear heels like I used to before being treated.

I did go to a neurologist and the Dr. did some treat with electric wires and stated that 3 out of my 4 main nerves were very damaged.

I don't know what else to do.....I still work...I am a first grade teacher.

I need some advice

" For myself I have decided that I really don't care if my feet hurt (which they do) because I am thrilled that they work properly and don't send me falling down the stairs or stumbling on uneven surfaces. I do have the option of getting off them as needed .
Have you tried any of the drugs- Lyrica or Neurontin? "
