Hi, I'm new here and have a big worry with wierd feelings in my feet. The tops feel like theyve gone to sleep - but they haven't - and feel stiff, very tight, like they've got glue spread all over them. This feeling is spreading up my legs at the front of them, not the backs. It's not painful but it started a few years ago and I thought it was due to osteoarthritis in my back but my GP says it's not as it's in both feet. He sent me for blood tests and they all came back negative - as he said he thought they would. It's like the feeling when you put a face mask on and your face goes all tight. That's how the tops of my feet feel and in bed at night it seems to be all round my ankles and the lower part of the front of my legs as well. It's horrible. I am so worried. When I saw my GP he said it was probably peripheral neuropathy and didn't seem in the least bit worried. At the time I told him that I felt like I was walking on lumps. He nodded and said it sounded like PN. I feel like giving my feet a really good stretch but sometimes that makes this weird feeling worse - that is to say even more tight. I've searched this on google and NO-ONE anywhere has these symptoms. That is why I'm so frightened. Please is there ANYONE on here who also has this? Please write to me if you can help. Thank you, Sarah.

You'll find a lot of information there. I'm glad you've joined us but sorry for the reason.

OMG. that's exactly how my legs feel. i always thought it was strange it was the tops of my feet and shins. i tell someone my feet are stiff or hurt and they don't get it that its the tops not bottom. i also now have stiffness in my muscles now and arms stiff and both legs and arms ache bad at times. i'm still awaiting tests and see a neurologist next week for a thorough exam. it's good to know someone else can actually understand. is it only your legs involved? what tests have they run on you? i have had some blood work, xrays, mri's and all are negative. it's a mystery, a very annoying one at that.
