9. It sounds like Charcot Marie Tooth disease.

Feb 2012

I've had it for a long time. It begins with the ankles, then the feet and lower legs (I wear ankle/foot orthotics). Now, after many years, it's getting into my hands. It's been a slow progression, and it's nothing that's going to kill you, but it can be pretty annoying. I have severe lower back pain and I'm on Vicodin. Any other pain killer freaks me out. I have hammer toes and had surgery on my right foot last spring. This spring, it'll be the left foot. Lots of fun.
