Night neuropathy pain

I have burning heel sensation at night--something that has come on me this past winter. Before that I was pain-free with this neuropathy. I do not get the burning heel every night though so I'd like to know why sometimes I am pain free--maybe weather? I do know that taking magnesium glycinate allows me to relax and go to sleep. No side effects either. Try some feet exercises too. I notice that if I get up and walk a bit upon getting the heel burn, the pain goes away. Also, less sugary food is helpful as sugar has inflammatory properties. There are many ways to go about tackling neuropathy.

@arcuri24 I can totally relate, and my heart goes out to you. Your last sentence reminded me of something I shared on this topic some time ago. A company by the name of Watkins makes a wide range of products used in the home, from cleaning products to pure extracts used in baking, to skin care and non-medicinal aids. I found, quite by accident, a spray called Pain-Relieving Liniment Spray which I figured I might as well try. It alleviated my foot/heel pain enough to be able to get a few hours of sleep at night. I remember wondering if I had some deep-seated psychological problem because my feet would be fine until about 10:00 p.m. every single night, and then all bets were off. Now, years later, I see a pain specialist who prescribes Pregabalin and Tramadol for me, and these provide wonderful relief. However, they are not natural like the Watkins spray. I'm sure there must be other similar products as the main active ingredient is peppermint extract. I still use it every so often. It seems that treatment for P.N. is like a 1000-piece puzzle where you have to find all the pieces that come together for your own case. And still, somehow, a piece has gone missing!
Magnesium helps me, as well. Prayers for you as you journey through what it takes to bring you relief from that awful burning heel pain.
