Yet another thing to bother me!

For the past few months, my feet have been having these weird sensations. It's kinda like a tingling 'pins and needles' sensation on the bottom of my feet and sometimes in a couple of my toes. When I step down on my foot it feels like stepping on cotton. And sometimes, if I have socks or shoes on it feels like something foreign is in my sock or shoe but nothing is there. This sensations comes and goes. When I get it, it usually lasts several days and then I'll get a couple of weeks where I'm fine.

It's freaking me out cuz you know me: I tend to think the worst. Right now I'm thinking MS. It definately feels like a nerve thing going on. Once in a while I get tingling in my hands and my lips too. But not as often or as intense as in my feet. Now I do have fibromyalgia but this seems unrelated somehow.

I have a doctor app't next Thursday for my feet. Hopefully we can figure this out. Maybe all it is is a pinched nerve in my back or something.

You got alot of good info from the others. I wish you luck & hope you'll be able to keep the anxiety in check until your appointment. I know that people with anxiety are sensitive individuals. We seem to *feel* things more than others. I am forever bothered by sensations that I can't explain. Over time & with alot of practice, I have learned to accept that this is just part of me & my anxiety. I hope you can learn to do that, too! Sending PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan
