Feet on fire

[Brump]

I have MS and right now my feet are literally on fire, it's absolutely horrible. What to do?

I have problem feet too. My left is worse than my right. Talk with your doc. There are seemingly unrelated meds that can help. Antiseizure and antidepresant meds alone, or in combination, can make the pain go away. FOr me it's a cocktail of Lyric (antiiconvulsant) and Elavil (antidepresant).

It will take awhile to fond the right combo and dose, but the relief can be complete, mine is :-)

Poppy is right a Doctor has to find the right drug for you. Each of us is different. I used Lyrica and then Trileptal. They basically need something to interrupt the signal. I ended up at  a pain clinic but a GP or a Neurologist can prescribe the medications.

I'm sorry to hear your feet are so painful.  I have it in my left hand so can relate.  It's awful.

Although it doesn't 'fix' it, a bag of frozen vegetables on the affected part does give some relief.  Neuropathic pain drugs such as Neurontin, Doxepin, Amitriptyline etc also help but they can take a few days to kick in.  

I hope you find some relief soon.

Best wishes
