Hello, Ken! How are you feeling? Has it eased up, at all?

It sounds like you may have a pinched nerve, or some type of nerve damage starting. Of course, only your doctor is going to be able to give an actual diagnosis.

Is your foot actually swelling? Did you fall anytime recently? Have you suffered any new injuries?

Hello Ken, my name is Charlene n checking in on some symptoms that I'm now having n seen your post. Don't know if you will get this since it's way late, but if you do, I've been through n still going through what you have. I have the same diseases n suffering from the same, taking the same meds also. I could tell my story, but I wrote on my life in a book, so tell you would be too long!!! Don't do xrays if u can avoid it, mri won't show either!!!! If state insured, fight it n get a bone scan done!!!! After 13 yrs of being missed diagnosed by Drs I finally had a bone scan done. I had to have emergency surgery cuz I was over 40 percent paralyzed on my right side from the waist down. Now because of the drs wanting money n not caring, I'm permanently damaged n now going through the same in my neck n knees. I'm not rich, live pay Check to pay check, single mom of two n it's so very hard, but now I'm fighting again n now smarter!!! I hope to hear from you soon!
