Good morning LithEruiel :)

I've had X-rays, an MRI, and a bone scan which didn't show anything except swelling (that I could already see). The doctor that did my EMG said it was PN, but the sports medicine doctor (the 3rd doctor I saw for this pain) didn't agree, but he hasn't been able to come up with any other cause besides possibly RSD (though I never injured this foot except overuse injury from working 12 hour shifts on my feet).
Does anyone else have atypical symptoms?

Mine is a slight swelling on the outside of my left foot and ankle. Started around the end of Sept and hasn't let up since. I've also been to 3 dr's but the last one, my neuro, said small fiber neuropathy does not cause swelling. The orthopedist (2nd dr I went to about it) did xray and the bones are fine. Said it was probably tendonitis and to ask my neuro about it. You can see where that got me 
The pain I have is sharp and severe. I still feel it when i'm off my feet but when I walk...oh boy ! That does a number on me. The dull, deep pain I have is in my legs and fingers.
I'm sure someone will come along behind me that will be more helpful. Just wanted u to know we understand.
