Burning Feet syndrome

Posted by ndovu @ndovu, Mar 17, 2012

Hi everyone! Am 40yrs man in Africa - Country. Kenya. In 1993 aged 22 and in college, I developed burning feet. So hot have been my feet that I've not worn closed shoes all those yrs
All tests done over the yrs -,including blood sugar, pressure, vitamin test, nerve endings test etc. All have been negative. I'm generally healthy, with no major problem. I need anyone who has had such a problem and got help to help.

Lyrica.com through Pfizer offers a $4.00 co-pay savings card. I'm not sure of all qualifying details. Some are state insurance plans...medicare, medicaid.

Has anyone tried accupunture?

I am trying it now....2 sessions so far and can’t tell any difference. I’m really doing it to hopefully prevent worse neuropathy caused by more chemo.

Hi, @cwm1 - if you get a chance, please do post your experiences with acupuncture for peripheral neuropathy in this thread specifically on that topic https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/acupuncture-helpful-for-pn/. I think members in that discussion would benefit from hearing about how this therapy goes for you.
