Uncomfortable toes and fingers

[workingmom811]

My 16 year old daughter has been complaining that her toes are "uncomfortable."  She can't describe the feeling but says it is not tingling or numbness.  She says that pressure or moving makes the feeling go away.  This has been bothering her for several months and it is equal in both feet.  It has gotten so bad that when she walks, she is constantly moving her toes and it is now hurting her entire foot. It bothers her more when she is sitting and laying down and she says she can't stand it.

I thought it might be RLS even though she is so you and was going to take her to a podiatrist but she is now complaining that it is starting in her fingers and hands too.  

What kind of Dr. should she see for this?  I have heard that anemia can cause this and have started giving her multi vitamins with iron to make sure she is not anemic but nothing seems to help.  Any ideas?

It is absolutely positively impossible to make a diagnosis on an internet board.

That being said such symptoms are characteristic of diabetes.

She needs what is called an hba1c.

There are many other possibilities. I would take her to a good teaching hospital.
