HI Everyone! I hope this find y'all having a pain free day.......
I woke up in the night last night and thought my bed was on fire because my big toe felt like it was on fire! I've never had this pain before. It only lasted for about 2 minutes or so and I rubbed it and finally the pain stopped. My foot seemed to have a light vibration after the burning stopped. I have Chronic Axonal Neuropathy and have been in horrible leg pain lately. I just started taking Traumeel. It's been available in Europe for many years and just resently in the US. It's an anti-inflammatory and has really helped with my leg pain since I started taking in about a week ago! Nothing the dr.s have given me or other meds I've tried have worked at all for my leg pain. I was just looking up "Toe burning pain" online and came up with the possiblity of gout.......What do y'all think? Is this just more of the PN getting worse again?? Thanks for any help you can give me......y'all are always great!!

When my pn was at its worst a burning toe was pretty common. I swear, I felt if I lifted the sheet I might see my toe glowing !

I have had one major gout attack. There is swelling with gout.
And red skin color. The pain is substantial, and throbbing in nature. The toe I crushed, under the boulder (broken in 2 places) often prickles at night. Majorly, esp if I bend it or wiggle it. That pain is like 10 sharp needles, and no throbbing. If I put Salonpas on it, that stops. Traumeel: http://www.traumeel.com/Traumeel_com_Tablets.homotox The X's in that product designate a very dilute homeopathic concentration. I don't see how they arrive a milligrams. Unless it is milligrams of the X dilution....we are talking very minute amounts of anything in this. This explains homeopathy and gives the concentration for various dilutions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy Homeopathy is popular in Europe. 8X is .00000001 for the mercury. 15mg of a 1 millionth dilution!

Hi Mrs. D!
Since nothing else has helped me for this rotten pain, I'm really surprised that the Traumeel is having such an affect on my legs! I'm just thankful that for today it's working! Now if I can just get this toe pain so it doesn't return! Thanks! Quote:

Gout hurts 24/7 .... not just at night.
You can get a blood test for it.
