To Donna re nerve tests and fibro

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry you're having nerve probs. Do you also suffer from

fibromyalgia?

I'm hoping to see my GP on Wednesday to check out probs with my

feet, especially the left one. For about ten years I've had slight

numbness/pain/tingling in my toes from time to time. Well, recently

my left ohas become really painful......swells on top if I wear

ordinary shoes as opposed to trainers or sandals......very painful

joint where toes meet foot bones......stabbing pains sometimes even

when foot is at rest.....still tingling and burning from time to

time. I'm not sure if the very bad pain is an exacerbation of the

old problem or something completely different. The burning,

tingling, toe pain and slight numbness can be felt at any time and

are what I've had for years although they're quite bad at the

moment. The swelling and very painful toes-to-foot joint seems new

and different. I also have pains in knees and thumb-to-hand joints

but I've put that down to old-age and arthritis. After all, I am 58!!

I hope you get some help with your problem. Do you know if nerve

problems can go hand-in-hand with CP? I haven't read anything about

this but one or two people seem to have symptoms.

I wish you the very best with your tests and treatment.

With very good wishes,
