Burning feet and legs

It does offer relief. As I previously stated, I use it throughout the day...

Thanks again.

I have that and tested positive for small fiber neuropathy. The only way to diagnosis it through a skin biopsy. My neurologist orders a compound for me at a compound pharmacy. I rub it on my legs at night it helps but I am also on Gaberpentin.

I have burning feet. The diagnosis is Erythromelagia. There is no known cause or cure. It’s associated with neuropathy. I live in MD. Our climate has temperature changes that impact the severity of my burning feet. This is what helps me. My dr prescribed Rhofade cream . It’s used for rosacea, redness on the face. It helps for about 3 - 4 hours . Then you have to reapply. Direct sun and hot temperatures are my enemy now. I also take a mild diuretic for the feet swelling . The swelling had gotten so bad , I also sleep with the ceiling fan on, a tower fan at the foot of the bed and AC on 72 degrees. Hope you get some relief soon.

What is in the compound?

I also have a lidocaine-based compound but find the patch works better. When I pull it off in the morning my feet are cool.

Hi @piross1528, Thank you for the private message. I thought I would respond to your message in this discussion - Burning feet and legs so that you can meet other members discussion neuropathy symptoms similar to what you are feeling and learn what they have shared.

You asked if my numbness began with burning feet or if numbness was the original sensation. You mentioned your feet burn and feel hot often and are wondering if the burning will eventually turn to numbness. My neuropathy started out as just numbness in the toes over 25 years ago and gradually got up to just below my knees where it also felt a little numb but not completely. I shared my complete story and what helps me in the Member Neuropathy Journey Stories - What's Yours? discussion here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/

Have you tried any alternative or complementary therapies to see if they help? The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some suggestions here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/

I'm in the Albany area. Where did you go for the spine simulator?

I get the “fire ant” feeling from my knees into my feet. Usually at night, but sometimes, like today, I wake up with it.

I just get the fire ants when they attack but it can be at any time, day or night. It makes me jump and is so embaressing.
