Hi curley,

I occasionally have that issue in my toes, and in my hands.  I went to a neuro a couple of years ago to have it examined.  Nothing was found.  It may relate to my raynaud's--do you have that?  But also I've read that it can be a subtle symptom of  lupus and other ctd's.

Keep an eye on it.  If it gets worse or it gets very bothersome, get it looked.  Especially since you've been on the biologics--they can cause MS symptoms.

Hey curley... how long has this been happening? Are you on your feet alot? What about shoes? Are they too tight? Do you get this often or just at night? Let us know how you are doing - Duck

I would definitely get this checked out, I think a couple of things could contribute to such a problem. Raynauds is one of the possible answers, but I think other issues could be causing this as well.

If your rheumy or PCP isn't much help, get a referral to a podietrist. Well, I'd get one anyway to get a second opinion on it to be sure. If bad mechanics are causing it, then they would be the person to help you out anyway

Good luck. **
