1 ReactionI have had tremendous success with R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, especially for the leg cramps, but it has also decreased, though not removed, the burning of my feet at night. I suffered for years before I found this sight last November and followed advice from fellow travelers. I get it on Amazon. The brand I take is lipoFusion, though I'm sure there are others that work just as well. I take 600 mg each day (at or before lunch).
I really hope the answer for you is this simple. I understand what you are dealing with!

1 ReactionMy feet and lower legs are somewhat numb, and I do have to turn over quite frequently at night because it's uncomfy lying on my side.
However, I seem to have got rid of the cramps which were waking me every night, by drinking a 6oz glass of tonic water before bed. The quinine in the tonic is the active ingredient. Other members have also found this helpful.
I also do 20 toe stands and some squats and stretches before bed, not sure if it really adds anything but once one arrives at a routine that seems to work, one does not want to start messing with it!

@v8auto I do the stretching but I'm still up every 2 hours
My pain neuropathic pain from a stroke.. called thalamic pain syndrome. Neurologists and pain management specialists have run out of ideas… nothing has been effective at all. Now my physiatrist ( pain management) is suggesting ketamine infusions. Two of my other drs are not in favor of them, nor am I
The one part of my body that functions well is my brain and I don’t want to jeopardize my cognitive functioning. Any thoughts?

All...not sure if your pain problems are a nerve pain problem....I have been suffering from Trigeminal Nerve Pain caused by a dentist. Thru my own research I have discovered a
nerve pain procedure that is FDA approved and has been around for over 10 years. Apparently not many doctors know about it. It is NON-INVASIVE and not painful. It is called The Scrambler Technique and I found out about it thru The Mayo Clinic....Further, because I live
in NYC, I have found a small clinic in Clifton, NJ that does this technique....The bad news
is that is not covered by Insurance and is a "out of pocket" expense. There are 10 sessions and each session is about 30 minutes. If you think this would work for you, check out the
following...SCRAMBLER TECHNIQUE....OR CALMARETHERAPYNJ.COM. It is 90 % effective!
