Has anyone experiencesd gradual feet shrinkage? My shoe size used to be 9, now it is 7.5 It took about a year and 4 months from the onset of illness for it happen. I stopped buying shoes. I'm just wearing layers of socks. I have no muscle wasting anywhere in my body that I know of. If anything I'm stronger than before. help!

How could shrinking feet be associated with MS?? If you're stronger than before, you definitely don't have MS. You'd have worse and more symptoms than that. I suggest you go to a podiatrist (foot doctor).

Just to follow up on the last reply and for what it's worth, I've had MS for 20 years now and I have all my strength!

Strange. Have you lost weight?
I heard recently that pituitary tumors can cause feet and fingers to grow. Perhaps there is something going on with your pituitary?

I am sorry, had I known how to report the comments I would have. It was early and I was not feeliing well and I let it get to me. I won't comment like that again. What buttons do you hit to make a bad report? Thanks
