What Causes Lump Like Feeling In Toe, Dizziness And Blurred Vision?

Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014

Question: My brother is 62 and is on lithium. He is having weird symptoms in his left big toe. He says it feels like small rocks sliding around in his big toe, The toe was operated on several yrs ago. The Mri only showed arthritis in it. A podiatrist ordered a nerve compound to put on it. He has been dizzy with blurred vision since he has been on the lithium, Can this be related?
