My sister says she has had numbing in her ball of her feet for years it has nor really changed in 10 years ..she thought it was because she wears high heel shoes.. she also has attenuated eye vessels the doc says is is due to her extreme nearsightedness.. now she is reading and thinking it could be Vasculitis? Because of the narrowing of the blood vessels? She seems so healthy and works out everyday ..she is still worried about the results of this test.. I appreciate you so much!!! Your answers mean so much to us!!!

Also she said she had a Hs CRP test last April that was 2.2 but all the inflammatory tests this year are down she just had Crp test and it was 3.2.. does she need to repeat the hscrp or are all the other test good enough? Don’t they test for the same thing?

Brief Answer:
No need to repeat tests
Detailed Answer:
hi,
No vasculitis does not present like this.
I don't think the other tests need to be repeated as well.t he numbness is also probably related to nerves with the usage of heels.
Take care,
