I have, for sometime now, acheness and tingling in feet after being on my feet 30 minutes or so. I do not have sugar problems. Discomfort is more sever with the longer I'm on my feet without resting. I had an xray taken and the report said "There is a small joint effusion anteriorly". What is that and what does it mean?

Thanks

Hey Tony... how are you? When did you start feeling these aches and tingles? Have you seen a rheumy yet? Hope you are well, let us know how you are doing - Duck

I don't know what that dx means, but if resting for a short bit helps and you can get back up - I'd suggest seeing a podetirist and finding out if you have Morton's Neuroma or something similar.

I'm a big believer in orthodics (they pretty much saved my life so to speak) I grew up w/RA and the compensating I subconsciously did really messed my feet up. Now I have psoriatic arthritis in my feet and pretty much can't live w/o my inserts.

Good luck.

Tony,

Just wanted to see how everything is going?  How are the symptoms?

Take care,

Erin

Hi, I usually post on the lyme board, but I also have reactive arthritis. Tingling and achiness in the feet can be a sign of neuropathy with many causes. My feet tingle because I have neuropathy from the lyme disease. I am with others that you should check in with a rheumatologist sooner rather than later.

Best wishes and hope you feel better soon.

one should also consider: artherosclerosis, high blood pressure, CAD, varicose veins....
anything that interferes with the blood flow could be underlying in this as well.

after a myelogram? so you had an EMG? what did the neurologist say about the after effects? ever have a follow up? if it was done with a needle poorly inserted, it could be a little irritation?
let us know how you're doing Tony.

Neuro does not know what to make of the symptoms in my legs after myelogram. I had a similar reaction 8 years ago ony it was a spot on my back that, size of a softball, that would go to sleep for about 8 years. So far docs cant find anything... Really concerning to me too. Can't drive due to the pins and needles in my feet and legs... Doc say's it would be unsafe. Yes, I had a EMG. Shock plus the needle. Left arm, neck, and left leg. I do not have the results back yet however. Where they stuck me with the needle, one of the spots (three inches above my eft wrist) now goes to sleep when hands are at my sides when standing. Also feels like I am wearing a watch. Seems to me they should not mess with my nervous system.
