pins and needles in feet

[Trudy2020]

does anyone suffer from pins and needles in their feet and how do you manage it? TIA

Had it mainly in hand on badly effected left side,occasionally left foot. Try heating or cooling e.g. wet flannel or try massage/rubbing.

My husband was prescribed Gabapentin for this type of neuropathic pain.

Hello yes feet and hands. I take gabapentin and also exercise helps as it is a distraction as well as good for circulation. Also i find massage to be helpful

If ice doesn’t work, heat might?

Hi Trudy,

I mainly get it on my, getting more bloody useless left hand side. oNly thing i find that helps is to keep my foot elevated.

I cannot take Gabapentin any longer as it causes my feet to swell.

Are Lidocaine patches available where you are? Lifesaver for me.

I get pins an needles at night in both hands and feet. I tend to rub them to get the blood moving which helps it to go but I've not found a way of stopping it starting, if you get my gist! I wonder whether its dehydration that makes it worse as I tend to get cramps at the same time?
