Nobody in my family has neuropathy. My toes cannot move and I can't be on my tip toes. What is CMT?

If you took in the past or are taking RX prescribed drugs that are on the PN list as causers, then you will have to stop them.

Fluoroquinolones like Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox damage people after the fact...and recovery is not expected. Macrodantin may reverse according to studies. Flagyl also causes grief, and even white spots on the brain resembling MS!

Vaccines also may cause problems in people with hereditary links to developing autoimmune issues.

Foods can be a trigger...and gluten from wheat is the most common.

Have you been to a good podiatrist, and have had Xrays of the ankles, and feet including the sesamoids? Sesamoid damage is common in athletes and people who hike, or wear high heels.

Vegans may become low in B12 and many people are low in Vit D so getting those tested, and getting your numbers of the results to compare with the new guidelines for both nutrients, is important. Magnesium is the 3rd most common problem and many people are low in this also, due to poor dietary habits.
Fixing these nutrients which I call the Big Three often help many people.
MrsD I did check my tyroide around July. The found that I had some nodules. I did some blood work in back sept and my endocrinologist gave me levothyroxine 0.075 to take. Do you think this can be the cause? I'm going to call my endocrinologist on Monday.

I don't think any other prescription drugs only birth control.

Last December I had flu shot.

I went to the podiatry first because I thought it was a simple injury from the high heels. She thought I had tarsal tunnel inflation. She did the X-ray of my feet and everything was ok. After that I went to see a neurologist because my feet were getting worst and worst.

For sure I'm going to call the doctor to test the nutrients because any doctor asked me to do that.

Thanks a lot

Ps: sorry for my bad English. I'm from Brazil and I live in USA for 8 years.

Please get the numbers from your test... doctors will call very low results as "normal" so having the numbers is important in order to decide to supplement.

If you did lots of jumping with your sports, the feet could be stressed. We have had a poster here with toe pain, and ball of foot pain, that was diagnosed finally after much time as psoriatic arthritis. The little sesamoid bones in the ball of the foot also can move or crack. Then the tendons become inflamed and hurt and swell some.

Here is a good website with pictures and diagrams to learn about all the foot problems possible:

CMT is Charcot Marie Tooth. It is a hereditary neuropathy and can have a lot of symptoms. You might want to research it and see whether it seems like a possibility for you. I only mentioned it because of the muscle weakness, which does not accompany all neuropathies. It is possible to have it without family members having symptoms, but less likely.
I hope that you find answers. Neuropathy is a frustrating condition, doubly so at your age.

After years of tests, physical therapy, etc. I was diagnosed as having anti-MAG antibodies in my system. You might ask your PCP to test for that.
