I have been to a number of doctors without any clear diagnosis. I will briefly describe my symptoms below and would greatly appreciate your thoughts:
I used to go to intense fitness/yoga classes 5-6 days a week. My left foot started acting up. I did RICE but it wouldn't heal. It felt a bit better a few months later but by that time, my right foot started hurting. I was initially told tendonitis. I have flexible flat feet (very flat). The pain was mainly on the inside of my ankle (posterior tibial area). The pain on the inside is a strong ache with every step. Two months later, my toes started to hurt as well. There is some burning pain throughout. My feet (mainly my right, a bit in my left) are always in pain and I don't know what's wrong. Doctors spend a few minutes with you and are of no help. Clean MRI, Clean X-Rays, Clean EMG/NCS. I recently had a different kind of NCS and it did show some hypoesthesia for a few nerves - which does happen in neuropathy. The consensus is that its basically 'nerve related pain'. Tarsal tunnel, neuropathy, nerve pain, etc were all mentioned but never confirmed. Obviously the flat feet don't help. I refuse to turn into a zombie on medication so I've tried TONS of alternative treatments (most didn't work at all, a few helped but only temporarily). I have done well for myself and would gladly pay ANY amount of money or travel anywhere to have my life back. A few additional details: - This problem is about 2+ years old. - I am 26 years old, not overweight. - I can't run, walking causes pain, sometimes there is pain even at rest. - My knee, hip, lower back, etc have all been acting up since this started. - I have had a handful of odd symptoms since this all started (dry eye, dry mouth, bald patches in beard, cold feet, cold hands, a bit of weight loss). YOUR thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated. |
