I posted recently about my toe problems and was told by Drdrizzles on the board to check with a neurologist to conferm that I have this. I have indeed been diagnosed with this basically uncurable ailment! Anybody have any experience with neuropathy or better yet polyneurophy in the pinky toes? I know this is a longshot. Haven't really found anything in Sarnos book about it and I understand it affects many people. looks like I have a real problem here! Anyone? I am scheduled for an EMG next month.
Hi, Holly. Yesterday, I googled my symptoms (extreme stiffness, numbness and tingling in toes, feet and legs -- sometimes even arms and chest) and was taken straight to various neurology sites that suggested MS (multiple sclerosis). Well, that's one thing I definitely don't have so I thought, "ha! it's TMS". Today, I feel much better. Not nearly as stiff and no numbness or tingling at all. First time in weeks.
Thanks for your response but it doesn't seem like the same thing. The pinky toes are something that have been constant for 2 1/2 years now. Unlike the usual TMS symptoms that come and go(which I know all too well about from the past). There are the toes inbetween that now get some numbness most of the time just lately which I think are possibly TMS related to this other problem. The only way I can describe it is like your pinky toe was rubbing against your shoe for a long time and just never went away even when not in shoes. They feel cronically inflamed. Thanks for responding anyway! I really appreciate it since obviously nobody else shares anything like this. That is why I am so wigged out that I really do have neuropathy in those toes. I really thought it was TMS about a year ago about now it doesn't look so good.
Polyneuropathy anyone?
