For those with burning/tingling feet..
 
Do they tingle/burn all of the time, or just some of the time? Just curious. My tingling/burning is constant, but worse at night, and the pain is much worse when I am on my feet too much. Thanks.

Hi Dreamer
My feet feels like I have sand in my toes and the burn is quick like putting alcohol on a wound then fades out. If I am busy, I don't pay attention to it.

Not to say I don't have events I do and mostly at night.
I am the opposite when I am walking my feet are fine it is when l am sitting. I also get sharp pain that come and go

When you say constant on a scale of 1 to 10 how do you rate constant. Mine goes from 2 to 4 during the day on the average.

For me, the pain is worst when I'm on my feet - especially with shoes on. It continues to get worse if I have multiple days in a row where I'm on my feet a lot. It gets better if I can limit the time on my feet for a few days, but I always know its there. Right now, it doesn't bother me too much at night. But I'm afaid its only a matter of time before that will come :(

You described exactly they way my feet/ankles burn. Sometimes at night the bottom of my feet hurt so badly making walking very difficult as well.

I have taken to wearing slip on open back sandals with velcro closure straps in front. Can't wear socks because it just aggravates the nerves even worse.

Thank you. I once went to a specialty shoe store and they custom made me sneakers that cost more than $400, but I didn't care about the price because I wanted something that was comfortable. Turned out, they felt horrible and I had to return them! I now mostly wear sandals that are way too pricey for me ($140), but it's worth it because they don't make my feet feel any worse.

Exactly. Many causes and mine is Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome (CMT).

One foot all the time, the other on and off. I can't wear thong, flip flops as they drive the nerves thus me crazy. I tried the expensive route, the planning etc...but oddly enough some on sale with openings seem to work best. The ventilation is great when they get hot and when I get cold I can use socks. The right socks. I've had to stop, sit and rip off socks. I did find a pair of slipper socks that my feet seem to tolerate.

After I started using Mortons Epsom Salt Lotion on my feet, I could use my sheets again. This symptom lasted about six months and then something else took top billing. I no longer have to use the lotion. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Hi dreamer. My tingling/burning is pretty constant but at varying degrees. Walking doesn't bother me as much as standing or sitting. Definitely worse at night with added stabs of random pain and twitches and/or muscle pulling (not cramps.) Gratefully I can stand the burning during the day as long as I don't have a flare-up so I only take meds at night for now to help sleep. I have also found Morton's Epsom Lotion to be a wonderful help.

Another cause - B12D
 
Mine was caused by a B12 deficiency that was undiagnosed for years. Foot pain was for more than a year so getting treatment did not reverse it. :(

Hi, sounds interesting, do you have a picture, or a product link?

v5118lKftfk 08-14-2015 07:24 AM

try magnesium lotion
 
Had a flare up as you describe a few nights ago. Put on Kirkman's Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) lotion and it soon calmed down and was able to sleep.
