Or are they just other stuff going on w/my body? I have had mildly for the most part elevated wbc (usually in the 12-19 range w/58 the highest) and swelling of the ankles behind the ankle bone for the past couple of years with the puffy ankle part firstly being annoying and now to the point that it disturbs my gait. No official diagnosis of PN yet by a specialist, but have had 7 other drs say pn is what I have.

Over the past year and a half I have gotten very serious about figuring out what the problem is...started with serious pain on inside top of the arch, hypersensitivite and burning/sunburn sensation on soles and pins and needles effect in toes (mostly on the ends of the big toes but sometimes in various digits) which a year ago got so bad I had pain, numbness and pins and needles going up the front of my right leg. Was referred to a neuro-surgeon who ran all types of tests including mri, eeg, emg, ncv and determined not a surgical candidate. Was then referred to a neurologist and pm dr. Neuro said I was okay but to see pm dr. PM dr. did a series of 3 transforaminal injections on L5, S1 which helped the leg issues but left the burning soles and pins and needles toes. Also traveled several hours to another specialist who did nothing but give me custom insoles which of course did not stop the burning sensation.

Should mention I have had every blood test known to mankind w/no remarkable findings of any abnormalities except elevated wbc. Been tested for diabetes 7 times in last 12 months and I'm not even prediabetic (hooray). No infections were found but have been on all types of antibiotics to try to reduce wbc. Was forced to go to a specialist who says elevated wbc due to pm dr injections (but wbc elevated way before that time). Could it be due to the problems w/my feet? I do have high bp and cholesterol. Any links on that front? I did have an ovarian cyst removed but wbc is still elevated.

PM dr cannot do anything else so has referred me to the neuro who did my ncv. I've had 1 appt. w/him and will see him again in another couple of weeks. Right now I'm just trying to figure out if any of this stuff is related to the pn. Thanks!
This is my first non-intro post so am a bit nervous if anyone will answer...
