It is not so rare. People with low thyroid can have this easily.
I'd suggest you try some magnesium lotion on your instep and ankles. This improves circulation quite a bit. Also keep the feet up whenever possible. Watch your salt intake and MSG in processed foods. MSG is terrible for foot pain. This is the lotion: http://www.mortonsalt.com/for-your-h...-epsom-lotion/ Just apply about a quarter's diameter divided between the feet once a day. WalMart stores have this in most of them now. Go online and search your zip code for the product on their website. If yours does not have it...ask the pharmacy to order it for you. My store carries this and has since it just came out a few months ago. It is also on Amazon. Both places have it for a very low price. You can also soak in epsom salts, and this works well too. But the lotion is much more convenient. If you use blood pressure pills? What type do you take? ACE inhibitors may cause foot swelling. Also long term use of diuretics deplete magnesium. The magnesium lotion gets into tissues where circulation is poor, and it really works well. I LOVE it !

I have never heard of this before. I gather that it affects the feet. A lot of us have issues with foot pain, swelling, burning, and numbness.
Mrs D- I have a spray magnesium oil (promedics neutraceuticals Ancient Minerals 3g per 30ml) that I take alongside magnesium supplements ( 50mg of elemental magnesium from mixed sources). The oil burns when I apply it. So strange ! But man does it ever help. I heard that opiates can deplete magnesium stores, so I decided to keep on it. |

You might find soaking in epsom salts dissolved in warm water more gentle. The concentrated "oils" topical types are just like putting salt on your skin. If you have poor skin levels due to poor Omega-3 status in your diet, it will sting just like salt does.

Really appreciate the info.
I wiil look for this I never heard of this lotion. I do take magnesium pills dont know if there supposed to help circulation. I do have Raynauds. Wondering how does poor circulation cause tarsal tunnel? Does varicose veins cause poor circulation? I dont have HBP n my thyroid was checked maybe 1 yr or so ago. Ive had this tarsal tunnel pain for 1 yr & 3 mos so I'm getting worried cause I read that surgery is not as successful if u have it longer than a yr. Thanks Mrs.D Quote:
