I was diagnosed with CIDP 18 years ago, was treated with IVIG treatments until May 2013. At that time, my neurologist stopped treatment to see how long I would be able to go without treatment. Several times before, when treatment was discontinued, I relapsed. I talked to my neurologist about new pain in my feet aside from the standard burning, numbness and throbbing. Specifically, pain in my heels. The sensation is as if my heels are severely bruised, making it extremely difficult and painful to walk. My neurologist stated that he doesn t know the connection. For the past year and a half, this new heel pain has come and gone. In the past 4-6 weeks the pain has increased tremendously. My Q is: Would it be more beneficial for me to see a podiatrist or should I see an orthopedist ?
