Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

I have a question open to anyone! I do not remember anyone mentioning foot/leg cramps! I have had periodic painful foot cramping at night which has recently worsened along with pain on my right foot which wakes me at night and after massaging and walking it out I have to try to stay in the same position in bed or it will rebound. I take magnesium 2xday and drink plenty of water. Anyone have any advice? I’m hoping it is temporary 😕

@helennicola - my wife gets severe leg cramps infrequently and hers is remedied fairly fast by drinking a large glass of water. Me thinks she drinks too much coffee during the day. The cramps might be due to some other mineral imbalance or problem. I found a reference that may help with some ideas.

Hi, @helennicola - leg cramps I've experienced have not been in the context of neuropathy, but rather in scuba diving and then in pregnancy, at night in bed. We were taught a certain method of massage for leg cramps in scuba class that really helps a ton, and it's done by a person other than yourself (as cramping can be somewhat incapacitating, and even dangerous if you are scuba diving.) I looked for a great video for this and was not finding one readily with any detail or with massage given by someone other than yourself, unfortunately.

Welcome back Helen, or are you still in California? Foot cramps....yikes! Mine would start about 4am. Here is the quickest way that I found helpful. Sit on the ledge in the shower. Turn the water on as hot as you can stand it. Hopefully you have a hand held shower head. Then just pour water until the foot/ankle seem to release. Do both of your feet cramp at the same time?

To keep the cramps from coming back right away, would you use the Releaf Balm? I am going to try mixing the 3:1 with the 1:3 for the feet. You always get my brain working. Be free of suffering especially from cramps. Chris
