A painful foot with diagnostic and therapeutic consequences

Background: A wide range of patients are referred to multidisciplinary pain clinics. An important part of the work-up is a thorough pain analysis that might reveal a specific cause for chronic pain. Method: We describe a patient with chronic pain in one foot after a light trauma and repeated surgery. However, careful examination revealed symptoms and clinical finings in both feet. This led to referral to a University Hospital and the diagnosis of a chronic neurologic condition explaining both symptoms and findings. The diagnosis of this condition has implications both for further follow-up for this patient and possibly also other family members. Implications: Professionals working in the pain-field should be aware of diagnosis that might partly explain increased pain or complications after surgery.
