Re: toe question/burning feet

[Guest guest]

I've been told that the 'burning' feet is due to the sensory nerve damage. I am

just beginning to have 'burning' feet but my mother has complained about them

for years.

My feet alternate from freezing/numb to burning -- I sure wish they'd pick one

or the other

The other pain in my toes is like a throbbing nerve pain. It can be a shooting

pain or a dull pain but mostly it just throbs. My mother seems to have this

problem too. Sometimes I'll be watching TV with hubby and suddenly grab my

foot/toe because it decided to have a shooting pain. Hubby's pretty used to it

by now The pain usually passes if I rub it or just move it differently -- I

think I have to 'turn-off' the nerve signal from the brain by finding something

else to divert its attention. Sometimes I just let it throb

(like now) because it really isn't too painful ATM.
