My toes hurt
by: Julia on Wed, Dec 05 2007

Nine years ago my big toes became painful . I told my family Doctor and his comment was. It will go away.
This year I decided to see a pain specalist at Cleveland Clinic. Beleve me I had gone to a podiridis [podiatrist, neurologist]. neurologest. etc. and they said it was from Diabetis [diabetes]. So I had that checked again and it was 160 Blood sugar and that was two years ago

Anyway to make a long story short I had a spinal nerve stimulator. I am getting about 60 percent relief. It is not perfect but a little bit is better than nothing. I still don,t have a diagnosis but the tech for my stimulator says I have all the symptons of RDS. At least that is a little consoling. The pain was and is 24/7. I am trying not to complain and live with it.
So thats my story.
