Video #4

This is my fourth video of the morning that shows, conclusively, that this is an ankle problem. Please see the previous videos here and here.

This video shows me using a TENS unit, off-label, to do the work of a WalkAide, by placing the electrodes exactly where the WalkAide does. My foot moves, that is a certainty, but this is intended to fully compensate for nerve damage by activating those nerves, and this does not do that because there is an exact spot where the big toe should lift up directly, but it cannot do it and instead flings to the right. It can go up a certain amount straight, but before it finishes lifting, it flings right. The way to complete motion is blocked. The WalkAide therapist could see this and also saw how my leg responded at incredibly low settings (here, 5.0/60.0) because the nerve conductivity is still VERY good. But the way is shut, by the hip and the ankle. I need surgery. Any doctor who does not believe my four videos and their explanations will cease to be my doctor. These are not central nervous system issues, but hip and ankle issues. The hip started me down a dark path and the sprained ankle cemented me in that place. I'm strong enough, maybe even in the hip, but fighting that ankle is like doing everything with Arnold Schwarzenegger pushing back. No wonder I can't exercise and see improvement. No wonder all of my doctors and therapists (10 and counting!) have been lost and the drugs don't work.
