: CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH EXTREME PAIN IN MY FEET. : HURT THE WORST AFTER WORK, AND WHEN I TRY TO SLEEP AT : NIGHT. I HAVE TRYED SOAKING IN COLD WATER BUT THAT : DOS'NT SEEM TO WORK AS WELL AS IT USE TO. ANY HELP : WOULD BE GREAT. (BURNING IN TOES, AND IN-STEP IS THE : BIGGEST PROBLEM. DOC SAYS I HAVE NEUROPATHY, BUT NO : CAUSE FOUND YET.
My husband has the same condition. The doctors say he has progressive polyneuropothy. As of yet we have not found anything for the burning, but we did find that if he wore nylon sock, like dress socks, that helped. Sometimes wrapping his feet with ace bandages really snug helped with the pain. He also has pain really bad at night. The doctors can't figure out why at nite worse. We have also found in his case that a percussion massager used on his legs interupts the signals being sent and helps lessen the pain.
