What Causes Pain And Hard Masses On The Bottom Of Feet?

Hi, Over the last several years I have been having issues with my feet and lower legs. The pain in my feet feels down to the bone and most times it is too painful to walk. I have hard masses on the bottoms of my feet (1 each) and on my shins (erythema nadosims - spelling incorrect). My Rheumatologist said that nothing was coming together for a diagnosis several years ago. Now within the last week I am losing strength in both my hands and the ability to grip objects small or large (been dropping things). My blood work showed high calcium levels, lymphs and wbc yet his nurse called me and said that doctor is on vacation but said to call me to say that the blood work looked good and that s it. I am VERY, VERY scared especially with whatever is happening to my hands!!! I have other things going on such as recent acid reflux, carpal tunnel, osteopinia, and knee issues that have me in physical therapy, not sure if they could all be related. Should I be getting a second opinion and be worried about whatever is happening with my hands?

Hi
Your weakness in hand could be due to CTS.
You need to see a good Hand Surgeon for that.
But you have multitude of problems. and a thorough look by a rheumatologist is a must.
