Default I have frozen foot, too.

Hi Bryan,
I wanted to tell you that I too have that frozen foot sensation, like your foot is stuck in dry ice & it actually freezes your bones & is impossible to warm up & really hurts. I didn't get the burning sensation until I was into it a ways & even then it was random, mostly at night in my attempts at sleep when it would feel like my heel was on fire where it touched the mattress but it was never as bad as the frozen feeling which I get most often. Winter is tough as is extreme heat. I used to live at the beach in L.A. so I had perfect weather but after 4 years of being off work I had to give up & move back to my parents in North Central Washington State & the temperature extremes of summer & winter are a struggle. I just hit my 6 year mark on Aug. 19th & you will find that we all have somethings in common but that there doesn't seem to be an exact formula for how each persons symptoms come about. I had serious color changes for the first year that got better or changed the second year & so on. Now I only get color changes once in a while but I have serious deep bone pain, stinging, cramping & sensitivity to cold & heat, cold is worse....taking a shower can be dangerous until you learn to find the right medium before you get in. I have passed out from the pain & shock of it in the beginning when the water was too cold or too hot. Don't ice it! Ice is bad for us & it took some time to figure this out, too, even for my original PT people. If you were athletic at all it is probably the first instinct to do for an injury but don't do it.
Good luck Bryan.
Darla

Feels like my foot has permanent frost bite It sucks. I live in central Alberta, and I'm definitely not looking forward to the long winter again. Cold aggravates my foot making it feel impossibly colder than it already does. All I know is that I am going to have to deal with this one day at a time, and keep trying new treatments until I find one that hopefully will work for me.
