I am having a lot of trouble with a burning sensation under my feet, the GP has checked my pulses and there is nothing in my blood chemistry to suggest anything wrong there so she is concluding its neural nerve pain. Does this make sense. She wants me to take amyltriptaine ( that's probably not spelt right) will that help ?

It's early morning now.. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. with my feet burning and red.. That happens most mornings for me.. First thing that I do is sit in the shower and spray them with cold water for a few minutes to cool them down, then put on warm wool socks.. Sounds nutty, but this is my latest regimen and it helps me get the day started.. Since I'm diabetic type 2, the next thing I do is scramble an egg with some green salsa and eat that with Dave's Killer bread, one slice with plenty of butter.. Coffee and me and meds.. Now I'm sitting here waiting for my jittery legs to settle down.. I also use a topical rubbing oil that I've talked about too many times here on Connect, but it has been a tremendous help for me and I feel like it's necessary to share any and all remedies that might help someone else.. Frankincense and Myrrh from Amazon or WalMart.. It doesn't do anything for some folks, but is a God send for some of us.. Only costs about $20 to try it if you have small fiber neuropathy, as I have, along with Erythromelalgia and Raynaud's.. I know how burning feet limits the time you can be on your feet.. Oh, and keep your feet propped up off the floor when you're sitting.. It helps, too... Good luck with getting a diagnosis and relief... Blessings
My neuro wanted me to try nortriptyline which is a second generation version if amytriptyline, instead of, or together with gabapentin. It is often prescribed for neuropathy and is a combination anti depressant and nerve pain reliever she said. My research showed no proof of benefit although she claims to have patients who did well with it. To date I have not tried it.

@lotsofpain, I moved your message to this existing discussion about burning feet in the Neuropathy group. If you click VIEW & REPLY, you can scroll through the past messages from members like @ujeeniack @skullborous @pfbacon and @jeffrapp. I'd also like to bring @hotfooted into this discussion. @stuartg and @lauraj155 have talked about taking Amitriptyline for neuropathy.
Lotsofpain, is the burning sensation a new symptom for you? Do you also experience other symptoms of neuropathy like pain, tingling or numbness?
