Is there a name for this other than "weird"?

One thing that happens to me every now and then is that I'll get out of bed, or up from the couch, and one of my feet will really, really hurt -  there is no numbness or tingling; instead, it will have very sharp pain in what feels like the bones on top.

I'll be really hesitant to put my weight on it, not only because of the pain, but because it feels like any pressure will make the bones shatter.

This pain always goes away in a minute or two.

It happens so rarely that I haven't even thought to connect it to any of the other stuff going on until now, but now I'm wondering - does it happen to others as well?

That happens to me periodically.  It feels like a bone is actually out of place or something and the support of my foot bones is missing.   If I have actually put weight on the foot it will drop me.  The pain is excruciating.  I wiggle the foot around a little (ouch!) and then something clicks very lightly and the pain disappears almost instantly.

I suspect it's something as minor as a tendon that has slipped out of its groove, but boy it hurts!

I have had that thing happen for many years, long before the MS. It's "just one of those things," I guess.

Hi Trace,
I get that weird feeling too - but mine is in the middle of my shin,  Sometimes it feels like it is going to snap in half.  I know it's not .....  my bone density is above excellent so I should think the leg is not really going to break.  Its just one of thos phantom pains I get and try to ignore.

Thanks, Doni! It just seems so strange - I know LOGICALLY that my foot won't break, but it really does physically feel like any weight will make the bones shatter! Too strange. I've always just thought of it as an oddity, and never thought it might be a symptom until I started reading about the odd, random things that happen with this disorder.

If I even have MS. I mean, I have a completely "unremarkable" brain, so maybe I just LIKE walking into walls, LOL. :-)

Hi Trace,

My problems with my feet first started with feeling like I was stepping in something cold and wet, when walking through the house barefoot.  This escalated to numbness, mostly in right foot but a little in the left too.  This all started last July.

By the middle of August I was having awful pain in my right heel, and like you, it was first thing in the morning when getting out of bed, or if I had sat for any length of time.

I am undx, so don't know if this is MS related or not.  Just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone!!  

This is very painful and just adds to my difficulties when I try to walk, legs are weak enough without all this foot pain....hahaha  Mine is an everyday thing, hope yours stays to rarely happening.

Hugs,
doni
