Questions about pain
 

I get extremely stiff ankles anytime I sit with my foot in one position or after I get up in the morning. I also get electrical shock type of pains in the ankles and feet. I believe this is the result of PN and I'm just looking for some validation from others who experience this as well. Please share your experience.

Thanks!

Yup, it's PN!
Same thing happens to me too.
You are not alone.

me also......i sometimes have to limp for a while after i get up my ankles get so stiff. i also get the electrical type pains in the feet as well as what feels like ice pick stabs and what feels like someone has my toe in a plier and is squeezing them.

I limp around a lot from it. Its really bad when I first get up, its like the ankles just won't bend. The electrical pains are bad and I feel like my toes burn right around the toe nails. This is bad stuff :eek:

I do get the stiff ankles when I wake up along with the electric shocks but the worse part for me is the burning. Has anyone else had a nerve biopsy done. I had one and was diagnosed with small nerve neuropathy. I have recently been diagnosed with RSD. Does anyone have any ideas to help with the burning?:)

I have a lot of the same type of pain around the big toes. Does anyone have red feet with the Peripheral pain ?

During the day I use a Heel Balm on the feet. For me this helps with the pain so I can wear shoes.

I use 'Biofreeze' or 'Icy Hot" menthol creams 2x day
(not the stick or applicator-the cream in the tubes)
The menthol calms down the burning feeling. The zaps, and jolts, and ice pick jabs,
are controlled (mostly) by Lyrica & Tramadol.
