Correlation between increased neuropathy pain and fluid retention?
My feet were on fire pretty much the entire day yesterday, and I could not figure out why. Then at some point I realized I was retaining fluid and found myself wondering if fluid retention in some way impacts neuropathy pain levels. Does anyone know if there is a correlation between fluid retention and neuropathy pain?

My Nerve pain is from my butt to my feet thru my legs. I have a TBI from my bicycle accident so my right-side of anything is weaker than my left from 12 years ago. Just a couple years ago, I - who can’t drive anymore - feel down from my butt when my wife parking in our garage… that killed me and no have pain from the back of my 2 legs. I’ve tried a little different things. The best I’ve had is - in TV or this website - is not meds, but sorta health: Nerve Control 911 x2 a day. It lasts 8-10 hours. Right now, I set one 11am and add the second at this coming 2pm… I hope it will be longer.
Sorry, I’m adding this next mth… I’m going to the next city and see “why” what happened when I well down=n in my garage on my 2 butts pain down to my feet and loss of balance on my right-side from my knee down. According to that coming doctor will check the points of these. It’s a computer-use so hopefully that program doing the right way -even keep me the same bad thing…
I have an ankle that is very painful (areas are bone on bone). I use Care By Design CBD-Rich Sublingual Drops. HOWEVER, I do NOT ingest it. I massage it into the joint. Gives me relief so I can sleep. Two other relatives tried it that way also and were pleased with the pain relief. Go figure.
It seems like every time I have edema, I have neuropathy too, like my feet are on fire. I’m wondering if there’s a connection too. And what helps it?
I'm having the same issue. They've sent me to several Specialists to include Vein Specialist. The swelling happens off and on but my nerve pain is constant (feet & legs) that my Doctor discussed PNS with me, briefly, but is going to further discuss it soon. I'm miserable. I don't think it's been studied, the connection between nerve pain & fluid retention but it's definitely a thing. I hope you get relief sooner than later.
Does neuropathy cause poor circulation?
AI Overview
Yes, neuropathy can contribute to or be associated with poor circulation, particularly in the extremities like the legs and feet. Diabetic neuropathy, for instance, is often linked to nerve damage that can affect blood vessels, leading to poor circulation and potentially causing complications like foot ulcers and slow-healing wounds.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Nerve Damage and Blood Vessels:
.
Neuropathy, especially in the peripheral nervous system, can damage nerves that control blood vessel function. This can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the affected areas, making it more difficult for oxygen and nutrients to reach the tissues.
Diabetic Neuropathy and Circulation:
.
In people with diabetes, high blood sugar levels can damage both nerves and blood vessels, leading to a combination of nerve damage and poor circulation. This can be particularly problematic in the feet and legs, increasing the risk of ulcers, infections, and even amputation.
Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN):
.
A specific type of neuropathy called CAN can affect the autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate and blood pressure. Damage to these nerves can disrupt the body's ability to regulate blood flow, potentially leading to circulation problems and even heart rhythm changes.
Symptoms of Poor Circulation Due to Neuropathy:
.
Symptoms of poor circulation due to neuropathy can include numbness, tingling, pain, cold extremities, and discoloration of the legs and feet. In some cases, swelling can also occur.
Differentiation from Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):
.
It's important to distinguish between neuropathy and PAD, which is a condition caused by blocked arteries leading to reduced blood flow. While both can cause similar symptoms, neuropathy primarily affects nerves, while PAD affects blood vessels.
