Dear Pest:
From what I understand from your post, you are taking Viiox. You mentioned feet going to sleep. Do you have arthritis of the spine? What type of arthritis do you have? It would be helpful if you could give more details of your diagnosis from your doctor. I would be able to possibly give you a better answer with more information from you. Take care, PatG

I HAVE GREAT RESULTS FROM TINGLING AND NUMBNESS IN MY LEGS AND FEET FROM WEARING REALLY GOOD MAGNETIC INSOLES IN MY SHOES. I TAPE THEM ON MY KNEE CAPS AND THE BURNING SENSATION GOES AWAY. THEY'VE HELPED ME WITH ALOT MORE OF MY CHALLENGES TOO. BE SURE AND GET THE GOOD ONES, I USE JAPAN'S #1 HEALTH PROVIDER ONES. GOOD LUCK.

two of the most talked about side effects of Vioxx have been swelling of the lower legs and increased blood pressure. You can read more about it at www.arthritis.about.com (http://www.arthritis.about.com)

Hi I had the same problem a couple of years ago My problem was VERY tight hamstrings after a couple of weeks of continues stretching exersises I began to feel the benifit and now it has almost cleared up IF this is your problem it is easly cured, go to a phisio he will help with hamstring problems. paul

I use magnetic insoles for the same type of problems. I would strongly suggest learning more and purchasing the insoles at www.ybunhealthy.com (http://www.ybunhealthy.com)

I have numbness and burning and pain in my feet, especially my left one for more than a year. No one seems to know what is wrong. All my labs were negeative, MRI only showed edema. I did have a cortisone injection which helped some and so did wearing a large boot to lift pressure off the bottom of my foot. I have had custom insoles made which I still can't wear after many adjustments. The doctor thinks it might be a Morton's neuroma or metarsalga. I have taken many different NSAIDS none of them help with the pain. The pain is better than it was but it is still not what I would call good. I feel very frustrated and that no one really understands what is going on with my feet!

Do you know if I can buy these magnetic insoles in a department store suchas Target or Wallmart? Is this something I have to buy on line? About how much do they cost?
