Has anyone else been diagnosed with sensory neuropathy?

Archive date 22 archived replies

Has anyone else been diagnosed with sensory neuropathy? I had an EMG done today and the results were mild sensory neuropathy in both feet and lower legs. I’m wondering if my PF has been a misdiagnosis this whole time!

What symptoms do you have in your lower legs?

Hello, any updates from anyone in this thread? I have tingling in my heels in addition to a lot of pain. Some sharp shooting pains also.

I don't have tingling but do have the sharp pain in different parts of the feet but also along the tibia and sometimes ankle, that make walking a complete nightmare

Also make sure you check your blood work your A1C. There was a list of bloodwork to check. Let me see if I can find it. I know many people who are saying this is a side effect of the COVID shot. I’m having same isssue trying to find out why so much foot pain. Heel pain ankle pain. I had back surgery last year lumbar fusion when it all started. 🙏

Are the symptoms the same for both conditions?

Also maybe could be tarsel tunnel? What part of your foot is the pain?

I have pain in both feet that makes it hard to walk. I just started having tingling/pins and needles in both feet so I told my neurologist who had me do the EMG. I’m wondering if there’s another test, possibly an MRI, that will be able to tell if it’s actually PF or not. Or maybe I have both.

I’m anxious to see what other say about tingling - I have never had any issues with that. Just constant heel pain (for a year) occasionally affects my legs (mostly at night) I had an MRI today- anxious to get my report.

I would do an MRI- the guessing game is maddening… I would have had mine sooner but my insurance denied it 3x 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have tingling in my feet and pain in my arch. Sometimes some areas of my feet feel hot. My carves, back of my feet or side of my calves. My X-ray came negative. I was just seen by a specialist and she said I dont have PF and that it could be PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY. So waiting to see where they send me next.

I have been stretching lightly, massaging at night time with Castro oil just started vitamin b12 even though I am not vitamin b deficient. I have les pain and tingling.

I need to do that too! I had to email my doctor today to see what the next step is. I was seen by the specialist 10 days ago and still haven’t from my doctor what the next step is. I asked for an MRI and she said that my insurance might not cover it because I don’t have any lower back pain but I am kinda starting to feel some burning in my lower back I don’t know if it’s from doing some squats or has to do with my feet 🤷🏻‍♀️

exactly. I have been treating myself so far by googling and reading everybody else’s recommendations from this page. And trying different things to see what works for me.

ask your insurance what they require to approve an MRI Mine needed X-rays, and to show that I did alternative treatments first (PT, orthotics, etc…) they certainly made it difficult, but I finally got it approved. It took some time but it’s done.

wishing you all the best. I have gotten the numbing and tingling go down from an 8 to a two in the past two weeks just sowing my own research and trying bunch of stuff but want to main the main cause of it.
