Remicade and possible neuropathy?

I seen my family doc today because I have been having a heck of a time with my feet lately. They just hurt something fierce, especially when I walk for any distance (not so much at rest). I've already been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, but this feel different - like walking on glass almost.

My family doc did a prick test - it's like a thick piece of fishing line in a flat cardboard holder. She tested my feet and I felt almost nothing - perhaps pressure but that's it - but when she went to my shins, I felt the painful pinpricks. So she is sending me in at the end of September for an EMG (at the Neurologist), to see if I have possible neuropathy due to the Remicade (which I guess is a possible side effect).

Has anyone had any neuropathy related issues with Remi????

I haven't heard of that - but doesn't mean there isn't.


You my dear need a break.

Yeah, the doc drew my blood to check my Vit B's and D levels. And no, the Raynaud's affect my hands mostly - I hardly have Raynaud's bother my feet.

Thanks Notso, Sibby and Q - yes I want....no I NEED a break!
