does anyone use any device (affordable) to warming feet?
 

hello there
my foot is an iceberg this winter, i feel like my leg are jammed in a bucket of ice:(
Im confined at home, I went to shopping today in the afternoon, and foot is still cold and hurting. I dont think i can sleep soon again. And I know that tomorrow it will be another restless day. I missing the hotness on my foot, its much more easy to take than the coldness, and both burns the same, unbelievable!
So please, if you have any advice to give me, tell me how you cope with these extreme temperatures i would be thankful.
lots of love

Got a portable hair dryer?
 

Set on low and blow. Helps get the iceberg feeling out reasonably.
Try 'Bed Buddy products' They're a rice like product that can be microwaved and can give off a soft heat [IF you don't over-cook the heat pad thingies]which can last for about 20+ minutes to thaw things out.

Other than that? Electric blankets for the bed help as well. Keeps the frozen feet warmer than a regular blanket.
That and gentle massaging to increase circulation.
Hope this helps! Just be careful that nothing is too hot and if you've trouble 'feeling' it? Just be MORE careful. Don't want burning on top of everything else...real burning I mean.
Let us know what you come up with, please! - :hug::hug:'s!! - j

We found electric throws at Target. Smaller than a blanket, great for wrapping yourself up while watching TV. Keeping me toasty! About $40

im going to buy some heated socks from amazon when i get paid next. my feet are also freezing

Soaking in lukewarm epsom salts really helps. The magnesium dilates the blood vessels. Use only lukewarm water.

I also wear leg warmers in the winter... they warm my feet without the constriction of socks.

Thank you
 

Today was a warm foot day! :) not burning much, just the usual stiffness
It was really bad yesterday. And thanks to all of you!!! now i have new and great ideas how to deal with. I love it the dryer! the warming footies is arriving soon!!!! :santa:
We've been checking on prices for electric blanket/throw for a month, Its needed too.

MrsD, please, do you know if theres any problem in soaking feet on epsom salts if im intaking magnesium? i will look where to buy them here, i saw at Amazon too! i use leg warmers too plus my old socks, i cant take constriction. I think that leg warmers is charming too.

Thank you mates
this feeling is so nice! the feeling of not being isolated, and find support here
is priceless.
God bless you all

The electric thows? Here in the US?
 

They are on sites here: http://www.sunbeam.com/Category.aspx...edding&cid=276
I'm sure there are others in the UK - web up 'electric throw blankets'.
I've had mine for over 5 years and it's a champ!
For the burning? I use a spray bottle of tepid water to evaporate on the feet.
It's like the princess and the pea - finding 'just rite' is not easy! - j

my feet are always burning, so much that i cant wear socks and need very loose shoes. it's usually very hot here in Hong Kong, so they just about always feel terrible.

the feel great when it's cold though. so in the summer i carry a cooler with ice in it and immerse them in it every 20 minutes or so. in the winter on a cold day like today (8 degrees) they feel better than they have all year.

i used to enjoy hot baths but now cannot bear to have my feet in hot water or on or near anything hot.

is this unusual or are there people who need them warmed and people who need them cooled.
