Parenthesis

[Matrix]

Today I have found out something I didn't know about fibro . For many years aside from peripheral neuropathy my souls of feet burn when I walk , it's very painful and it's called parenthesis . Any one else have this and what treatment do you have if you do . Thanks 😇

[tulips123]

Oh yes! Crushing and burning and horrendous to walk on! I knew it was a symptom, didn't know it had a name. Generally later on than 1st thing. Sympathy xx

[tulips123 in reply to Matrix]

More positive frame of mind. Today anyway! This swollen, burning thing, do you get it in your hands too? xx

[Matrix in reply to tulips123]

Good I'm so happy your mood has lightened , it's the pits when we get those days and we all get them . I do get painful hands wrists etc . I'm a total mess really but I get on with it and if I have bad day I lay on my sofa under my snugly rug and watch a film or whatever . Xx

[Matrix in reply to Patdoyle]

I'm with you going to bed is not what it used to be . I have a cradle in my part of the bed ask can't stand anything touching my feet or knee, it's so painful. XTake care of yourself x

[tulips123]

sorry - p.s. if anyone has any answers because I have no idea what would help. xx

[Annunnaki]

Thanks for this sweetie. I was diagnosed with plantifaciatis and they thought it was related. But could be both. Worth making sure you don't have the same? 💗

Blessings.

[Matrix in reply to Annunnaki]

I have a lot of problems with back knee and very painful around ankle and top of foot .My problem s that I hate going to Drs , I put up with a lot of pain that could be sorted .Have a nice day it's beautiful here in Gloucestershire xx

[Annunnaki in reply to Matrix]

Dr's can definitely be the greater pain. Hope you'll find a good resolution for yourself. Doesn't sound like plantifaciatis to my limited knowledge there. All the best with it.

Been warm in East London too. Yea! Sumer...ish, glorious summarish! 😀 💗

Blessings.

[Matrix in reply to Annunnaki]

Well the sun is over today , it's cold and Damp and I don't want to get up . I didn't thinking sounded like your foot prob but it was very kind of you to mention it . Bye for now xx

Hi Matrix

I have to admit that I had not heard of this before, so I have done a bit of research into it. I have pasted below the treatments for Paresthesia as laid out on the *Disabled World website:

*Treatment of Paresthesia

Treatment of paresthesia depends on an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause. For people with limbs that have fallen asleep, restoration of their circulation through exercising, stretching, or massaging the affected limb can rapidly dissipate the tingling and sensations of numbness. If the paresthesia is due to a chronic disease, such as diabetes, or occurs as a complication of treatments like chemotherapy, the majority of treatments are aimed at relief of the person's symptoms. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin are recommended if the person's symptoms are mild.

People with more difficult paresthesia might be administered antidepressant medications such as amitriptyline. Antidepressant medications prescribed for paresthesia are given at a much lower dosage than they are for the relief of depression. The medications are believed to help because the alter the person's perception of pain. If the paresthesia a person is experiencing is even more severe, opium derivatives such as codeine might be prescribed. As of the year 1998, trials are being performed in order to determine whether treatment with human nerve growth factor will be effective in regenerating damaged nerves.

There are also a number of alternative treatments available to assist in relieving the symptoms of paresthesia. Nutritional therapy can include B complex vitamin supplementation, particularly vitamin B12. Vitamin supplementation is something that should be pursued with caution; however, because an overdose of Vitamin B6 for example is one of the causes of Paresthesias. People who experience paresthesia should avoid the consumption of alcohol.

Acupuncture and massage are also believed to provide a level of relief from the symptoms of paresthesia. Self-massage with aromatic oils is sometimes helpful as well. The application of topical ointments that contain, 'capsaicin,' the substance that makes hot peppers hot, might provide relief from paresthesia. It can also be helpful to wear clothes and shoes that are loose-fitting.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with this my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi I have this, I am on tramadol, also have gel insets for my shoes, I tend to put them in the fridge over night and use them when my feet are burning to rest on. I also use memory foam shoes. It helps a bit. Gentle hugs.

[Matrix in reply to Jenamey41]

Thank you I will get some of those gel pads ,I do wear memory foam and I find it worse when I wear sandals without any socks or whatever and have cut memory insoles to fit toe pegs and that helps a lot .I hope your ok it's very miserable hope your not hurting today hugs xx
