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!
