I too have neuropathy of the feet. My podiatrist just keeps giving me shots in my feet that don’t resolve anything. So I will definitely look for a neurologist! Thank you!

@debby090 shots in feet??!! Discuss new strange symptoms with oncologist that manages the MGUS. My husband has neuropathy for years but never got offered shots. He has diabetes. No shots. They are invasive and maybe a possibility to cause infection and no cure in literature. Warmed up socks would do more than shots in feet. Especially going to bed. Let oncologist mange new symptoms and if they say go to see someone else then go.
@debby090 The orthopedist ordered an EMG and an MRI on feet, legs, lower back. I was thus able to see the results, the MRI especially showing a bulge (not a disc, but some kind of cushioning material protruding outside of the vertebrae; sorry I can’t be more specific here). This bulge is affecting the nerves causing the neuropathy. He said it was not caused by MGUS, maybe due to my age (77).
He has ordered a steroid injection in the back. I am waiting to book the appointment until I talk with the hematologist about it. Fingers crossed.

Shots huh? Yikes! I would definitely ask a few questions. 😳
