Anyone Have Peripheral Neuropathy Affecting The Legs And Feet In Addition To RA?
Yes talk to Rheumatologist about anything feeling- I've used gabapentin for 4 plus years and I really don't think it works- have talked to others and they don't either - have to wean off tho as has some side affects
Hi there! I am sorry to hear- it is not fun! I have had RA since I was a teenager but was not diagnosed til mid 20's- sometimes the tests don't show- I am now 64 and I retired from work in the financial industry after 30years which was 4.5 years ago- and mainly because I ended up with a rare side affect taking Humira- I was on humira for about 6 years and was having some weird symptoms but because I'm used to weird stuff from body I kinda downplayed and my rheumatologist didn't think anything was unusual- BUT- a rare side affect is just that- rare- I ended up in emergency room as having knife stabbbing pain in my mid back that started slowly and built up to constant- I also was seen at Mayo in Rochester so it was verified to the best of knowledge- the Humira- I have to say- was on for 5 years before this started showing- I've been on most everything and now switching from Orencia to Actemra-oh sorry- the rare side affect was demyelination mimicking MS- sooo- now I have numb feet down to hands and midback to sometimes my lips-this week I am going in for 3 hours of MRIs as it seems to be getting worse and I saw my neurologist and that is where we start- ckg for any more plak on spine or brain-wow- Humira commercial on tv right this minute- tripy-anyway- some days are ok as keep busy and some days not so much!! You are strong👍🏻I sometimes have to remind myself of all the other problems / health issues out there and the devil I know is better still- find something you love to do!! I know it gets hard to do sometimes but if nothing then "Andy Griffith" and watch Barnie and Otis!!
good to know it can go away. When I do my warm water arthritis classes, it seems to lessen, but when It's done, it comes back. I go this Thursday to see my rheumatologist, we'll see what he says.
I was wondering my my right foot felt like a piece of meat like when you get numbed for teeth fillings. I wasn't aware that this was a side affect. I was going to see my regular doctor, but I guess I should see my Ra doctor instead. Thanks.
yes, i have that too. I HATE the numbness. I had to have a nerve test and it was determined I also have severe carpel tunnel in both wrists. Sigh. My point is your not alone.
