My feet start cramping on the cold floors! So yeah, I do understand. There's not much I can do to fix it, except keep them warm.

I tried a heating pad,but it didnt work to good. I have been wearing 2 pairs of socks,that seems to help more than anything.
My feet useally cramp up in the summer time so I do know where your comming from on that one. This is a electric pain. Its so intense that not even the neurontin helps it. It just plain out sux. |

Yes. I have an electric throw blanket that I wrap my feet and legs in which helps the pain from cold.

Your welcome, Alyson.
I tried a heating pad but because I couldn't cover everything I didn't get much benefit from the heat.

Just a vote of solidarity, beautiful.
I hope you get the relief you need soon. Have you tried soaking them? I don't have the pain you describe but before disability, I always had jobs where I was on my feet a lot. When my feet hurt, everything hurts.

Last night, right when I went to bed, my feet started to feel like someone had put jalapeno peppers all over them. (mild jalapenos) Mildly uncomfortable. The past week or two, in the evenings, my feet have been feeling more and more numb as the evening goes on, but they'll be perfectly fine in the morning. Weirdest sensation when they've been going numb. Like I'm wearing my mom's Ugg boots. I dont know if this is an MS thing, or if it's got something to do with the back pain I've been waking up with. (the back pain might be an MS thing, but I've had it since 1999 in varying degrees because of a car accident, so I'm not sure) |

Get one of the rice bags that you heat in the microwave and use it on your feet. I have tried it and it works to warm up my feet and help with the cramping. I also put it on my calves to release the muscles that cause my feet to cramp. I learned this trick from my massage therapist.

I hate the cold.
I sometimes take a reasonably warm and long shower to "warm my bones" and feet. I might need a little nap afterwards , but it's better then putting up with the other symptoms from feeling cold. BTW, do they feel cold to the touch, or is it just a sensation? When it is just an altered sensation (which is most of the time for me), putting pressure on them seems to help too. Cherie
