Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

I am wondering how everyone can tell if they have cold feet or hot burning feet? I have severe pain in my feet due to neuropathy and I cant figure out if its because they are cold,which can cause a burning sensation, or if they are hot causing the burning sensation. I have tried everything to help with this and the only thing I have come close to getting relief with is called Aspercream w/lidocane. Helps long enough to be able to fall asleep. I use the roll on, less mess. good luck with this issue its a tough one.

Hello @t21, Welcome to Connect. You pose an interesting question and hopefully other members can share their experience with you. For me when I think my feet are cold, they actually feel cold to the touch. I don't have the pain with my neuropathy though. Here's an older article from 2011 that talks about the topic.

Cold Feet That Aren’t Cold to the Touch May Indicate Neurologic Problem: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cold-feet-that-arent-cold-to-the-touch-may-indicate-neurologic-problem/

Are you on any medication for your neuropathy pain?

Same thing here. Feels like they are burning and I take off my socks and they are cold. The best relief is to soak them in warm water. I'm too lazy to do it most of the time. Hope it helps you. Try it.
