oral pain/stiffness in legs, feet connection

[Joancrat]

I have pain in my mouth tissue after implants put in two years ago.  Implant hardware irratating gum tissue.  My legs are very stiff at times and bottoms of feet feel numb at times.  Difficult walking.  When the p ain in mouth is bad, the numbness on soles of feet and stiffness of legs become worse.  I believe there is some kind of neurological connection.  Dentists ridicule.

Hello.

There may not be a causal association between the two symptoms. But when one part of your body is in pain, it makes you more alert/attentive to any other pain.

Why was the oral implant put in? Was there any foot pain/stiffness before you had the implant installed?

Regards

Hi, probably this is peripheral neuropathy affecting nerves. How old are you? Any history of diabetes? Deficiency of vitamin B in the body is also related with peripheral neuropathy giving symptoms of pain and stiffness in legs.

Please get your vitamin B levels done and try some vitamin B tablets or shots. There are other causes for neuropathy, to read about it do visit website
