Painful feet

[avondale2009]

Hi everyone just wondered if anyone else gets painful feet achy and burn on a night. I have ET but also have cervical spondylosis so I am trying to work out which is causing this. I suffer with fatigue badly and find walking pretty hard these days.

Hi Avondale. I have PV and laid awake last night with burning soles of feet and itchy heels that drove me mad. No aching though thank god. I walk alot and think it helps me. I wish you well. Mel x

Hi Harleydavidson

I only seem to itch after a warm bath but burn when I am warm opposite when I am cold I lose feeling in my little toes but cos I have bad arthritis its hard to work out what causes what. I have terrible joint pain same as Nirbhebe elbows wrists etc.

I wish you well too and thank you for kind wishes.

Greetings "Extra Terrestrials", my Earthling communicated my platelet count as 364, (the celebrations went on way after tea-time!). Small print..(remember your omnipotent being proffers no guarantees, the value of your platelet investment my rise as well as fall, your very existence may be repossessed). Back to earthly matters - the end of the heat wave leaves my hands feeling like ET's looked like with my other extremities resuming their ice like composure. In bed my feet heat seek anything warm leading to many squeals of delight (not!), my matrimonial status is severely threatened! Due to bouts of fatigue my demeanour is now resembling a sloth with many chores (forgive Americanism), waiting in a queue British Gas would be proud of! Well, human race medal contenders must sign off now the cat is sizing up the rose bed for his next pungent deposit!

Hi Avondale

I have ET and also get achie feet and burning. It's not the worst of it in my case. Joint pain in elbows and wrists is what keeps me up. My feet do hurt and cause me to slow down. It's usually worse as I get up and moving lessens it.

Take care

Oh I use a topical balm that eases discomfort from Karens botanicals called "badass balm" you can get it online

Hi Nirbhebe

I have terrible joint pain and this is worse than the aching feet my elbows and wrists extremely painful and I am on very strong meds for my arthritis but doesn't help. Its confusing for me due to the severity of the arthritis to work out whats causing what. Do you get any low back pain I also suffer badly with that.

Take care and thanks

Hi Andrea

So sorry for your pain. It sounds confusing with multiple diagnoses. ET is confusing enough all on its own. I only have low back pain very occasionally. I've taken prescription pain meds years ago but weaned off of them and now it's the topical analgesics and occasional naproxen .

I wish you the best in finding longstanding relief!

Hi Elizabeth

It is very confusing but I am hoping for some answers soon I had another mri scan last week n seeing rheumatoid doc next week. I think a lot of my problems are down to my arthritis, I had operation on my spine last year but it doesn't seem to have helped. Seeing heam in 2 weeks and have a lot of questions for him this time. I wish you the best with dealing with our complicated illness and good luck for the future.

Kind Regards

Andrea

I do

I have et and that is my worst symptom

They have been bad at the moment - keeps me awake at night and at work I often have trouble concentrating because they burn so much

I gave been meaning to post to ask what other people do to relieve it

Socks help lucky we are in a warm climate and yes I think the more I exercise the better it is although at night after exercise it's bad
