oh Lord more stuff going on now too. it seems things can touch my legs and I don't know it. anyway I saw my dr this morning and he says it is PN. not sure yet where it is coming from. it is either my back issue, my diabetis or this lump in my butt! I will be having an mri friday evening. now I am scared! losing the feeling in both feet and both legs is getting to me. the realization that I may be wheelchair bound soon is not a good thought at my age. dr said it is a possibility if I don't have back surgery. I never wanted that but I can't take the hip pain I am now having as well. can't even sit in church without tremendous pain.

thanks everyone for advise and keeping check on me.
