Burning Feet

About 4/5 years ago- Only the soles, only at night, they were on fire- They actually got hot- In the morning when I stood they were sore, it was hard to walk- Then as I walked more it subsided- It was during the winter- Then it went away as suddenly as it started-

Yes, my feet, top of feet and front of lower legs. It’s neuropathy.
Used to be just feet occasionally then legs joined the party.
I take Pregabalin/lyrica for it and it helps a lot but still get it just not as bad. It’s common in diabetes.

I experienced this when I was having chemotherapy, I used to lie with feet on ice packs wrapped in a towel.
Pleased to say mine eased after about a year so I don't think there is any permanent damage.

DH also suffering from peripheral neuropathy due to repeated courses of chemotherapy. He also takes Pregabalin with varying results. Some days it helps, others it’s ineffective - it’s really is life-changing, and he’s been told it will be permanent.

Thank you, hopefully my issue will be like rosecarmels

Thanks all

All that time my feet remained tender and finding comfortable shoes/boots was an issue- I lived in Uggs and Uggs type knockoffs-

Georgesgran I also suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy. My condition began after a spinal fracture and nerve damage, now, all over my body, including lips as it slowly spread and is permanent.

I take pregabalin topped up, when necessary, nurafen. and Capsaicin cream, on prescription, very lightly applied on feet and legs at bedtime. The cream has been a godsend for me and which may help your DH to calm the condition. He has my sympathy.

About this.. I learnt today that covid can cause neurology issues!!

Do you have a link please Msida?

Yes, this can be associated with both peripheral neuropathy and restless legs. Putting on very cold shoes for a few minutes (bare feet) seems to help.
