Anybody else dealing with it? Pretty bad in my left foot working up to the knee and now getting worse in the right foot. PT, spine surgery, cortisone injections, heavy meds and other stuff with no relief. Just lost my job and working on getting disability but seeking all options. Wondering what others do for work, relief and how they deal with it.

Thanks

Tony

I'm going through testing right now for Neuropathy. Mine starts in the Scapula region and travels down my right arm. The pain can go from my shoulder to my elbow and all the way down to my wrist. The elbow for some reason is the main point of pain most of the time. The pain is off the charts at times. Currently I'm just taking pain meds to deal with the rough times. I went in for a MRI yesterday so I should know by Friday on which path I'm heading down i.e. surgery or injections. I sure hope it's an injection as I don't like the thought of surgery. I will keep you posted on my findings.

Good luck to you, it's not a fun thing to deal with.

Thanks od247. The constant pain stinks but as long as I can get in the boat (soon I hope)and throw a few casts, I will be good.

Hope you have good results and treatment is successful.

Thanks tj. I can't begin to count how many Neurontin pills I have taken over the years. Even taking more than the highest recommended dose every day, they did nothing. Tried lots of other nerve/muscle/pain meds without any success really. The more I have learned about neuropathy, the less I like having it.

I just started taking Gabapentin 300mg 3 times a day for it and it does not seem to be helping at all. Going in for a whole bunch of lab work tomorrow. I guess all I have to do is give some blood and urine samples though. This sucks I can barley walk at times due to so much foot pain.

Been a long time since I've logged in. Thanks for the input, guys. The neuropathy has several health issues to compete with now. Complex regional pain syndrome, erythromelalgia, Sjogren's syndrome, Raynaud's syndrome, kidney disease and got lab work done today for probable lupus. I'm getting a spinal cord stimulator trial in a couple weeks. Hope it works for some of the pain so I can get a permanent in a couple months. Going to cut into the spring casting.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
