Swelling In One Foot Then the Other - Worm Disease? Posted: 05-11-06 20:57pm
Please help. I've seen my gp,
dermatologist (psoriatic toe nails),
podiatrist, rheumatologist (psoriatic
arthritis in remission for 10 years), and
a vascular guy. My right foot was swollen
for about 4 years. I then experienced
weird, short "lightning strike" pains in
my chest for a period of about 2 months.
No difficulty breathing or anything
unusual and nothing showed an improvement
or made them worse. Then the chest pains
stopped and my left foot swelled up worse
than the original foot. The top of the
foot was very painful to the touch, but
has since improved greatly. My toes look
like sausages and the skin has a blue
tinge to it. Every once in awhile I feel
a tingle under the skin on the top of the
foot. I've had all sorts of blood tests
and ultrasounds.
I went to africa the year before this all
happened so a guy in the vascular
surgeon's office was a specialist in
african worm diseases and thought maybe
that was the cause. They drew my blood
and sent it to the center for disease
control and it came back negative.
I don't know what to do. No one has
helped me figure out what is wrong with
me. I've been dealing with this for six
years. Someone please help me!
