What Causes Pain In Leg When Suffering From Charcot Marie Tooth Disease?

I have Charcot Marie Tooth disease and am having heavy duty pain in my leg muscles. I have tried herbal extracts that are muscle relaxants that help some with pain and also have muscle stretching exercises that help relieve pain somewhat. I don t know what doctor to go to or if there is anyone who can help?? The neurologist who ran tests on me several years ago is retired. Can you advise me? I live in community outside of Seattle WA. I know University of Washington does research on this but I don t know who to contact for actual patient care. Thanks.

Hi,

CMT is handled by rheumatology and at one of the best University hospitals anywhere, they should be able to come up with something.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
