We all know I am having "health issues" but...my left leg has been giving me fits so to speak with severe muscle tightness...here in the last couple weeks it feels like the tendons in my foot are going to snap and once in a while i feel like they are snapping. they get so tight that i can barely move my foot and it goes numb on me often from just below the knee to the tip of my toes. any suggestions on what this is? freaks me out...

yes they did a bone scan and an MRI they said that i have deteriorating bone disease but how would/could that affect the muscles and tendons?

they had me on celebrex and soma 350 but that does nothing for me to be honest....nothing seems to help

Ok good!! flowerforyou My first thought for you was a bone scan! flowerforyou I don't know the answer to that unless it's sympathetic nervous system stuff.

just about every kind of scan you can think of. ive been thru tests on top of tests and tests on those tests hahaha

i was recently diagnosed with cancer, lupus, deteriorating bone disease, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromialgia.

who knows....was curious if anyone had any opinions or experiences with this. its like im afraid im going to snap or damage something by walking or moving it. it gets so tight it feels like its going to just break. a few times i have felt little snaps in there like rubber bands snapping. its very wierd, uncomfortable and often painful

Yes I knew you were recently diagnosed is why I asked the things I did. flowerforyou Having been thru this...my first guess was to have a bone scan and then neuro scans if you are falling a lot ..but if you have had those....
