What is causing my hypertonia?


In reference to my previous post, I would like to rephrase my question. What is causing my hypertonia? Three years ago, I woke up to a sharp pain on my left foot. I thought everything was ok, but that pain kept dragging on at random time. I remember that pain was so bad i collapsed during English Lesson last year. I went to 7 doctors and none of them could tell me what happened. One of them even said I had conventional disorder. The new doctor stated on my medical letter that i'm suffering from hypertonia, but he couldn't find out the cause of it. My left foot has been turning outwards at almost 90 degrees. On top of that, whenever someone touches that foot, I'd get a static electrical impulse running through my nerves. It also causes my leg to move involuntarily. In addition, I get frequent non epileptic seizures too. I went for a lot of MRI scans but nothing seems to be wrong with my nervous system. What is causing it? And is there a cure for it?

it sounds like you could be having the initial signs of multiple sclerosis or ALS. also, i get the feeling that it could be vascular such as peripheral artery disease or have something to do with your back. you need to get if they havnt already done so, a doppler ultrasound on the vasculature in your leg and abdomen. i cant see the sense in repeating MRI's and since neuropathy has been ruled out vascular would seem to be the cause. has your kidney function been checked? are you diabetic? have they checked your blood chemistry? have you been checked for parasites?
