Do Any Of You Fellow ATTRwt Sufferers Have Ankle Nerve Problems?
I have had an incrediby sensative spot near my right ankle bone that I am sure is a damaged nerve. I have been to so many neurologists about the pain and none of them can figure out what causes it. I have decided it has something to do with nerve damage from Amyloidosis. The pain is getting worse and spreading over a bigger area. Hard to walk because of the pain some days.
Would love to know if anyone else has this problem.
Thanks for comment on ankle pain. Will talk to Amyloidosis doctor at next appointment.
Quite possible, it may be a deposition of amyloid fibrils around the nerve that affects your ankle. It certainly should be considered as a cause of your pain.
Hi, I have been taking Allopurinol for 20 years now for kidney stones/gout. The pain near my ankle is more recent and affects the nerve that passes right near the ankle bone. Since no one can figure out why I have that pain, I'm beginning to think is has something to do with ATTRwt..
I have been on vyndamax for four months now and have lost a lot of weight. I also have suffered 4-5 gout flare ups in both feet….very painfull and lasts for 3-4days. Colchicine prescription seems to help clear up the gout.
Thanks for sharing your issues with the ankle problem. I have a feeling these ATTR proteins can reach any part of the body. I had a triple spinal fusion a few years ago which I think may have been due to ATTRwt. Hard to tell but these things keep cropping up.
