I'm a 37 yr old female and 6 months to a year ago started with intermittent pain in ball of foot and tingling in toes (constant now and outside of big toe is nurab to touch), Almost 2 months ago I developed pins and needles in tongue (tongue improved) and from feet up to varying levels as far as genital area and backside and sometimes in arms, hanRAB and back of head also. In addition to all of this, muscle weakness (mainly arms and thighs), 2 falls down the stairs. I also get pinpointed pains in my thighs. Recently I developed Raynaud's (according to Neuro) and joint(?) pain in hanRAB, wrists, ankles, knees and neck. I need advice! What am I dealing with? What should I do next?
