So over 2 years ago I had a Covid vaccine I self diagnosed as neuropathy in my feet with the pins and needles and pains I went to the podiatrist and he said it was plantar fasciitis. june went to a foot surgeon and had an MRI and he said it was a tumor in my foot he took the tumor out did three other procedures clipping this in that and all the same symptoms were there. December got Covid lasting 3 weeks and the paxlovid took the pins and needles away
but did not take away the thick soul feeling like it's being stretched and pains around the perimeter and severe pain drilled into my heel on occasions, now a month later it’s reoccurring. I don’t know who to turn to, but I have been in agony for over 2 years my PCP xrayed my back and thinks that this condition in my feet is connected to my back, I have no pain in my back but I indicated that since Paxlovid helped it must be something viral … what doctor should i go to i am 68 have Medicare plan F

Welcome @katiewall7, I'm sorry you haven't found any relief for your foot pain yet. I don't have pain with my neuropathy just some numbness in the feet but I've often thought part of my problem originates in my lower back where I do have some aches but not pain from degenerative arthritis. This article discusses possible causes of foot pain and might be helpful:

If your PCP thinks the pain might be connected with your back, you might want to ask if you can get a referral to a neurologist to check for neuropathy pain. Have you discussed seeking a another opinion with your PCP?
