Can anyone give me any help for my poor burning feet? I have been suffering for about 4 years. I have seen 4 doctors and so far no lasting help. I am 55 years old, normal weight and health. BUT I could cry with the pain in my feet. The burning goes away if I remove my socks and shoes and soak them in cold water.
I have seen a Neurologist, a Podiatrist, acupuncture, and my Family doctor, also a Chiropractor. Someone please help or refer me to someone who can help. When my feet sweat, it is the worst. and they seem to smell when they sweat. The Podiatrist says I do not have a fungal infection. The skin on my feet and my toenails are normal. I take a regular vitamin and a Super B complex. All my blood tests have been normal and I have tested
as not diabetic (even with 2 hour GTT) on three occasions. My fasting sugar level is 89. I soak my feet at night in a Tea Tree soap that is anti fungal and no sulfates.
Here are the things that help:
No shoes
No sulfate shampoo, soap or laundry detergent
Soak in cold water with tea tree soap
Here are things that KILL ME:
Tight shoes and socks.
The sweat my feet produces, it seems to burn my feet and then they take time to heal.
I take progesterone and estradidol for menopause. I tried the drugs for Neuropathy---and they about killed me!!! I have a job and I need to perform compilicated financial calculations on my job. Lyrica, Pristiq,and the latest Lamotrigine--I have to stop after a week because of the terrible brian fog.
Help or advice please. Thanks for reading.
