Who is stabbing my feet in the night?

[theoldboiler]

Joke-ish question but I am fed up with having somebody stab my feet with a screwdriver in the night which either wakes me up or stops me sleeping. I know it is peripheral neuropathy and treatment is limited/non-existent. Has anyone any success with therapies, treatments that can help this?

Hide the screwdriver.

That made me laugh, thanks Oscar21 I'm going to have a go of the jam jar rolling xx

[Oscar21]

Your post made me laugh. Joking aside I am having trouble with my left foot underneath. I experienced the same problem 8 years ago and the GP diagnosed Planta facitis, I researched on the Nhs website and I started rolling my foot on an empty jam jar and believe it or not it worked. So I’m now back to jam jar rolling lol

I had suffered with this in the past but purchased plantar fasciitis insoles from Amazon and all my footwear have arch supports ( Vionic or any Orthopaedic brands) never had it again … and the shoe styles are very modern 😉

Vionic shoes work for me

Oh my goodness the driller killer visits me too in the night!!! When I asked they said it was dehydration and to drink more water. No idea if i was being fobbed off.

not my issue, same as when they tell me I have arthritis, it is nerve pain

Look into thiamine. Allithiamine to be exact., (TTFD)... And B12. Both would be higher doses. Absolutely helped me with my hands. Hope you find something to help

I take it every day anyway, part of the regime for someone with liver damage, but thank you

I take gabapentin but that comes with it's own issues x

Reluctant to take gabapentin
