Bob, I had a similar series of reactions about 2 or 3 years ago. Painful swollen ankles and cfeet - they said it was possibly tarsal tunnel syndrome - or maybe gout, or osteoarthritis, or even the tibia thingie that you mention - you name it , they said I had it. And then for other reasons changed my agonist - and wow , my feet stopped hurting, the swelling went down - but I need orthotics which have just redently had to be readjusted. BUt the discomfort I experienced before the new orthotics were nothing compared with the previous experience, where it literally took me 20 minutes to negotiate a flight of stairs. The old medication - permax the new medication - mirapex! Hilary Blue ****************************************** Bob Chapman wrote: > > Joan, I am going through a similar circumstance right now.
