i've had some problems with my right leg and foot for a little longer than a year now. it started with my foot being very numb for a few months which went away with some acupuncture treatments. now my foot is pretty much always sore when i stand on it, the pain usually in the heel or toes, sometimes in the achilles tendon. it seems very weak, as well as the rest of this leg. lately i've been having some problems in my knee as well. there's some pain right beside the kneecap and a stretching dry pain right behind the knee. my shins also feel like there's a lot of stress being put on them. i've had x-rays done and none seem to tell the doctors i've seen anything. i have scoliosis and my doctor and chiropractor just say this is all a result of that, but there should still be a way to remedy this pain right? it just feels like everything is out of alignment. when i sit down i'm only comfortable when my right foot is a couple of inches ahead of the left, and shoes just don't fit as well on my right foot. i got orthotics and they just made the pain worse. sorry for this long post but i'm at my wits end, and if anyone knows what might help, or what the cause of all of this is i would appreciate it a lot. thanks.
