Any Clue From These Symptoms, Sqad?

[Scarlett]

I've had this for 4 years now and it's no better, Docs have been no help. Basically I can't stand on the soles of my feet for any more than a minute without pain which gets worse and worse. The soles of my feet are always 'fizzy' and tingly whether or not I stand on them. I don't think it's plantar whatsit, cos it's the whole weight bearing area, not just the heel. The bit that makes contact with the ground. Also I have ulcerative colitis, associated arthritis in knees, ankles inflamed and slipped discs. And I weigh too much, though have lost weight and it has made no difference. Any thoughts much appreciated.

Well if other Drs have been no help, the prognosis for me is poor........however.
Plantar Faciitis does characteristically cause pain in the heel of the foot, but it can also cause pain in the sole of the foot following weight bearing.
There are many "gastro-intestinal arthropathies" Google it if you want, of which plantar fasciitis is one.

I would suggest that your painful soles of your feet are due to Plantar Fasciitis associated with your ulcerative colitis.

That's it.

Ooops! sorry....they are called ..."Enteropathic Arthropathies"....sorry.

I had a slipped Discs wich I had a op on but the sciatic nerve was damaged and I now have the same probblem as you but only in my left leg .

Nerve root pain (usually sciatica)
Nerve root pain is pain that occurs because a nerve coming from the spinal cord is pressed on (trapped) by a prolapsed disc, or is irritated by the inflammation caused by the prolapsed disc. Although the problem is in the back, you feel pain along the course of the nerve in addition to back pain. Therefore, you may feel pain down a leg to the calf or foot. Nerve root pain can range from mild to severe, but it is often worse than the back pain. With a prolapsed disc, the sciatic nerve is the most commonly affected nerve. (The term sciatica means nerve root pain of the sciatic nerve.) The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that is made up from several smaller nerves that come out from the spinal cord in the lower back. It travels deep inside the buttock and down the back of the leg. There is a sciatic nerve for each leg.

Scarlett - do you suffer from Diabetes?

If so these sypmtons might be nerve damage (neuropathy) and you should talk to your diabetes nurse about them

\\\ Docs have been no help.\\

I might have thought that at least one of them might of thought of diabetes...?

Do you 'slam' your heesl down when you walk? Spur injury - soldiers who do a lot of route marching suffer from it - it was just a thought

Cover the obvious first Sqad

[Sqad]

Jake....eh?

[Scarlett]

I don't have diabetes- I did think of that and have had a couple of blood tests but nothing there. I think Sqad you seem to be spot on with the Enteropathic arthritis. Sounds exactly what I have. But I do wish I could do something about the pain in my soles and tingling when I walk.

[Sqad]

Thanks for the feedback Scarlett, I can only suggest that you ask your Rheumatologist......I would be interested in his reply.

[bednobs]

or her

[Sqad]

bednobs........;-).............or "it."

Hi Sqad, I've seen two rheumatologists and one said it was fibromyaligia and the other said it was that thing when you're bendy and double jointed. Cos my blood showed raised ESR and CRP but no rheumatoid factor. I disagree with both.

[Sqad]

Marfan's Syndrome?

[Scarlett]

No, I don't have any of those symptoms.

[Sqad]

LOL....no i didn't think that you had.......but was just answering :

\\\ other said it was that thing when you're bendy and double jointed. \\\

LOL

Oh hahaha!! Sorry! I see. No, its hyper-mobile, is what the other one said I was. But I'm really not?!
