Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy or tarsal tunnel syndrome.

I recommend performing a nerve conduction study and some other blood lab tests (complete blood count, iron levels, vitamin B 12 levels, PCR, ESR, blood electrolytes). A lumbar spine MRI study may be necessary, considering the fact that you have done three lumbar puncture.

Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
