Hi,
I've been having some problems with my feet for the past 3 weeks. Most often it affects the right foot majority of the time. The thing is that I am not sure if it is general foot pain or neuropathically related? It initially started as a burn sensation under the arch of my foot. I tried wearing magnetic soles and the burn sensation was gone after a week, but then the next week some pain (more like stiffness) migrated up the ankle and tendon area of the foot. A week later it migrated up the lower leg muscle area. Now, it's more like in the lower portions of the upper right leg. The pain is bearable (don't need pain killers yet) and it sometimes comes and go. At home, sometimes, I rarely feel it. Also I notice when I am walking (not long distances), the pain goes away too.
I highly suspect it is nerve related because I am also experiencing some nerve pains in my arms (esp. left hand) that could be symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I am not sure what the problem with my legs are (Tunnel Tarsal Syndrome???
I am very positive that they are stress and anxiety induced because I had a major panic and stress attack a month ago. Plus, I am obese.
Can this heal itself naturally if it is neuropathically related? I want to rest this out and in the meantime, go on a more healthy vegetarian diet and take essential B vitamins. I want to give it a test trial before consulting the doctor.

I would see a doctor for sure. There are so many little things that could be going on, or hopefully it will all go away. In the meantime, see a doctor

carey,
These couple a days, my left hand feels much improved and i can sleep better at night because I am wearing a splint (for CTS).
About my right leg. The pains are subsiding a bit when I applied capsaicin cream (the one with chili peppers) on the affected areas. I noticed that with more rest and immobilization, it helps. It also feels better when I am on the treadmill working out. I am overweight, so I suspect fluid retention coupled with the stress may have played a factor. Maybe the Vitamin B pills and magnet therapy help out too. I am resting it.
Thanks for replying.
