Just thought I would give an update on my situation. I was supposed to meet with my doctor this afternoon to discuss the carpal tunnel condition that she diagnosed in both my hands at my last appointment. I had a blood test for C-Reactive Protein (CRP), S to check for inflammation and it was at 13.8 mg/L which I guess means my PMR is officially back out of remission. I'm back on 20 mg prednisone which I hope is only temporary. She called and cancelled my appointment for today because she wants to schedule an EMG for the arms/hands and then proceed with surgery for the carpal tunnel in the wrists. Of course none of this is helping with the SFPN in my feet and legs - fortunately I just have the yucky numbness and a little tingling with no sharp pain. I am a little worried about the prednisone and it's possible affects on the neuropathy since I was on it for a few years when my PMR first started back in 2007. Hopefully we will all find an answer that works for us. Just have to keep thinking - left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot...
