Sore Feet, Fatigue And Bald Patch On The Head. Have Poly Cystic Kidney Disease. Opinion?
I have had poly cystic kidney disease for over 12 years now which is monitored every six months. This past 2 months I have had sore feet, so sore I can hardly walk, very tired all the time, it's making me stop excercising, I have a bald patch on my head the size of a five rand coin, and I just feel very lethargic. What is going on?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum AND THANKS FOR THE QUERY.
These issues are not related to the polycystic kidneys.
A dermatologist would be of help to manage the bald area.
An orthopedic surgeon or a plastic surgeon would help you manage the sore feet as it could be plantar fasciitis.
Best regards
Dr GSRINIVASAN
