Just wondered if anyone has experience of these. Mum joked today that she was footy & laminitic..I asked why, she has had sore soles of her feet & two toes numbing on the right foot..this came on suddenly last night..also the right foot has felt sore too on top - like a burning feeling..or walking on stones.
Obviously sending her to her gp tomorrow am, but googled..should have gone here first. She had a feinting spell last year & resulted in stitches to her head(10) when she went over backwards in the yard and in feb, I was driving home from visiting & she text to say she had fallen asleep reading the paper in the kitchen, fell back off her chair(wooden) and hit her head again on the oven.
As a child she had rheumatic fever so the drs have said at some point she will possibly develop heart valve issues, so have tested, done bloods, scans & brain scans & she had a heart monitor for a week. Its taken a while..but Mum being mum, she won't spill until pushed!She noticed her hair has gone very fine recently too-and she has had two ops for varicose veins, so was wondering if it was that or circulation..I wondered if it was any of the above or worse diabetes..or rheumatoid arthritis..please feel free to suggest something harmless & simple if you've had experiences..good ones as well as bad.. I am a worrying now & know she is difficult about taking medicine as would rather take herbal things. She doesn't drink or smoke & is 65, eats healthily, but I worry she doesn't always look after herself as too busy running round after others particularly since Dad passed away..I do also think she might need to eat more sweet things and fat than she does...the good ones I mean
Right..will stop waffling & thank you for reading x
