I'm 78 and my conditions were getting worse. I have been searching the internet for natural cures for my condition. I'm not a medical practitioner but have been able to stop my bodies deterioration, and even reverse some symptoms. For me eating, sleeping and exercising better has really helped. I have substantially stopped numbness in my feet and seem to be reversing fungus growth in my big toe which I think is caused by a mild case of sciatica and prediabetes. I eat less refined carbs and take vitamin supplements which include B complex, magnesium, potassium, zinc, D3 and multivitamin. I try to eat withing a 4 to 6 hour period each day and can get enough sleep now. I've been able to alleviate stress, lower my blood pressure and feel more like exercising. Now I need to lose weight. "You are what you eat."

Many thanks Dr. Andrea. I have had burning of the feet for many years. Happens at night. I get out of bed and sit on the edge of the bed with my feet on the cold floor for about 15 minutes.
After watching and listening to you I will now try and find the cause.
Thank you again beautiful Doctor.

Very useful information with politely speaking and understandable conversation,

I was having terrible burning on the tops of my feet at the end of the day. I assumed it had something to do with my fibromyalgia. On a whim, when I ordered a new pair of running shoes, I bought them in a wide. I haven’t had any burning since. I’m now also buying shoes appropriate for my pronation. This makes a big difference.

A brilliant presentation! I didn't take this burning sensation seriously, and now I've lost feeling heat in my soles.

[paulyash]

I have CRPS and burning feet is just one issue after foot surgery on right foot. Sometimes its difficult to even touch the foot or immerse it in water. Gabapentin has helped some, lidocaine patches, and muscle relaxers when they spasm and burn . Also many supplements Quercetin, B Complex vitamins, alpha lipoic acid turmeric etc. Nothing ends it though. Placing my feet on cold objects sometimes help or putting feet up in front of the air conditioner. Sounds ridiculous but it helps. Can't work if I can't wear shoes though. Shoes cause feet to get hot and neuropathy pain/electric shocks. If I keep shoes on to work, walk, etc then I get nauseous, dizzy, walk like I'm drunk, migraines etc. Medicine for migraines do not work, acetaminophen doesn't work, and anti nausea medication takes the edge off, but doesn't stop it completely. I think that is how the condition differs from true neuropathy, but it can be debilitating. Also Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(CRPS) can spread to other limbs . Many doctors do not know how to diagnose CRPS. My physical therapist recognized it first. Be your own advocate. If you had a surgery or recent injury...then even something simple like a sprain there is a possibility it could also be CRPS causing neuropathy like pain. Keep talking to ALL your doctors( including your physical therapists, chiropractors, etc. because one may finally recognize your problem when another doesn't)

P.S, when the pain is bad and I can't put the Lidocaine patch on the foot itself because its to painful I will place the patch on the longest nerve leading to the foot. Something my Ortho suggested to help with pain management. It does work. Also try OTC patches if you are out of Lidocaine script patches, others like biofreeze, absorbine jr. or tiger balm patches can help. Also love Stamina Pro patch can help. Those I can use in daytime while I reserve the prescription of Lidocaine at night on my flare days. Hope everyone suffering from this can find help to relieve their pain!
