Odd symptom
This is a strange question. I was diagnosed with perineal neuropathy years ago. Very limited to medication due to allergic reactions but do take duloxetine er and B complex. Over the last few months it feels like the bottom of my feet are wet. They’re not, but it’s an intense sensation. I’m not diabetic. Nerve conduction studies and ‘needle testing’ sorry-forgot what the name of that test for peripheral neuropathy confirmed the changes in areas of my body, also along with the shooting bolts of pain in my lower extremities. Also in my right shoulder that radiates down my arm causing severe weakness in my hand. I am female in my late sixties, and also deal with osteoarthritis. Are there others with similar issues with their feet, I would be interested in suggestions or advice for some relief.

I have a rare hereditary neuropathy and feel lots of weird sensations as does my son who has it. My toes feel wet all the time when they are not. That’s funny because I can’t feel real wetness. I often feel like there is duct tape stuck to the bottom of my feet and it’s so annoying. I also get the feeling my socks are sooo tight but when I take them off for relief the sensation doesn’t change. My feet are pretty numb. I can’t tell the difference between bare feet, socks, nylons, anything. I get random shooting pains all over my body but the majority are in my feet. I can’t feel hot and cold on my hands. I have to touch whatever to my face to see if it’s cold. I have to touch laundry to my face to know if it’s dry. I have so much trouble turning the pages of a book since I can’t feel the paper. A million weird things so nothing surprises me anymore. Anything I can’t figure out I just assume is part of my neuropathy. It’s a very versatile disorder. I’ve had issues for decades so I try not to let them drive me nuts.
