hi, I recognise that I have some sort of problem and wonder if it's what you deal with here. My feet and ankles feel swollen but are not. There is a tight feeling as if the skin is overstretched, if that makes any sense. I'll no doubt have to find a doctor , but I live in Thailand and not everyone speaks great English. Might be tricky to explain. I also have gout but am dealing with that. Have had it for years but this tightness is something else, only in the past eight months I think.

any suggestions or thoughts would be most welcome.

Welcome

This is a great place for info and support.

I don't know what the sensations could be. I'll give you our Rare Conditions forum to look into:

I hope you catch a big one today.

Hi, and welcome. I have a similar feeling that comes and goes due to multiple sclerosis. I describe it as feeling as though I'm wearing tight stockings, or that my skin is too tight.

That is so interesting as I have exactly the OPPOSITE feeling as if I NEED tighter sick or a tight body stocking. In fact, if I wear clothes with Spandex it actually lessens the pain somewhat.

check out the periperal neuropathy forum.....and get checked for diabetes.
