Hi there,

Been getting some vibration in my right foot...along with some pain in my knee.  I am a 38 year old female.  I have suffered with pain for 8 years.  Back, hip, groin , calf etc...I have had every test. 8 MRI's, cat scans, biofeed back, hair analysis, nerve tests, xrays, ultrasounds, you name it I have tried.  I have been to physiotherapist, refleoxlogists, osteopaths,accuunture being the most recent. etc...  My tests show nothing more than some normal wear and tear.  The therapy has not helped at all, if anything at times it agrevates even more.  Most recent I am getting the feeling of water drops on my legs, vibrating foot, and lots of pain.  Has anyone else experienced this? My doctor put me on cymbalta for a year.  Did nothing for me besides helped me gain so serious weight.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Drives you nuts, doesn't it, when something weird is going on and nobody can figure it out. I've had the vibration too. The first time I was walking into a store and I thought the ground was moving. I think it was from one of the spine problems I had, and it eventually went away with one of the spinal injections for sciatic pain. A lot of leg or foot pain comes from the spine. The size of the bone spur or whatever is pinching the nerve has no relation to the amount of pain.

Are you seeing a pain specialist? You've had pain long enough. Make sure he's an anesthesiologist, not just a physiatrist, because you want one who's qualified to do spinal steroid injections.

Yeah, I tried some of the not-real-docs and that was just a waste of money. Accupuncture made the pain worse and I couldn't tolerate some of the needles at all. I tried all the "nerve" meds and found them useless for me, although I have to say there are many people on the forum who swear by them. You just have to try all of them until you find something that works for you. Physical therapy can help if the doctor prescribes a type of therapy that's right for your condition.

The last thing you want is surgery, so keep looking. (And don't forget we're not doctors here, just patients.)

Hi there,

So weird. Yes I have been dealing with pain for a long time. What can you do I guess. Cant say I haven't tried everything. Accupunture actually irritates me to no end...but people are telling me to stick to it. I think symptoms have gotten worse since I started. Very frustrating

Re pain specialist...I have gone to classes etc...but nothing helps...me or the pain...or the anxiety over the pain..Any suggestions would be great

thanks

Hi Floof & welcome to the forum. I recalled seeing some older threads here about the vibrating foot. I used our search feature located at the top on the right & from glanced through those old threads & there was a lot folks from the Fibromyalgia forum & the some from the MS forum.

If you are interested in reading any of those post just use our search feature here at the forum & type in vibrating foot. We do ask that you not post on those older threads as there is a very good chance the original poster is no longer active here at Healing Well & we like to keep the older threads off of the main page.

You may want to post over in the Fibro forum about your situation & see what those folks have to say over there too.

Take care.
