I have had a job as a hostess for the last year on the week ends. After a week end it takes me a couple of days to feel like I can walk pain free again. My ankles swell up considerably and it feels as if a bone is coming through on my left upper foot in front of my ankle. My mother has neuropathy as well as her mother (my grandmother). Will this eventually take over my ability to walk? Also how should I be diagnosed and what can be done about the pain. I feel like someone has a vice grip around of my legs at the bottom by the end of each working day.
