ah my feet don't feel so hot.

well, i have been having numbness, pain, and tingling in my feet ever since i started medications in august 2011. i saw a neurologist last week and went in for an EMG today. he thinks the symptoms were caused by prednisone. i gained 40 lbs of water weight and couldn't walk. i borrowed my grandma's walker for a month until the water weight started to come off. my limbs were just way to heavy for me to lift and i probably wasn't getting a lot of circulation in my limbs.

have any of you had an EMG done before? it basically is a bunch of needles put in your feet and legs and then you are shocked. it feels really weird like you are getting a ton of bee stings for 10 minutes straight. fortunately, my doctor found no nerve damage! i am so thrilled, but now my feet and calves are tingling and hurting because of all the little holes i have everywhere in my muscles. i wore my mom's socks to the hospital and they have little blood marks all over them ahhh hopefully they will come out in the wash.

i am praying that the numbness goes away though since i know that nerve damage isn't the cause.

It's good that there is no nerve damage and I hope that those feelings go away in time.

I've had the EMG done several years ago, but mine was from head to toe. My nerve conduction is slow in my arms (due to circulatory issues) but my legs turned out fine. My back and leg issues were from a different cause but I know how frustrating it can be to have something like that wrong with your legs.
