I've been reading all these posts, each of us looking for a cause. Me too.
I have been tracking my symptoms. I have no pain when I awake up,just a funny sensation from the ball of my feet to my toes. Then about late afternoon I start to feel mild to moderate burning in my toes. As the day progresses the burning increases. So by late evening my feet are on fire. By the time I get into bed, the burning is excruciatingly. Now during the day I have taken my Lyrica and started using Diclofenac gel on my feet and have taken Tramadol 50 mg as ordered.
This pattern goes on almost every day. So I find myself wondering if it is a hormonal changes during my day. I don't think it is my level of activity because my routine changes every day. Are there aphysiological changes that go on in my body that go on that influences the progression of my pain pattern. There are so many chemical changes in our bodies that we are not even aware of.
I wonder if any researchers have tracked people as the pain pattern changes through the day.
Just a thought. Does anyone know if there is any research in this area?
