Peripheral neuropathy

My kidney transplant is failing and I’m having real problems with my feet. Burning and stabbing pain worse at night and keeping me awake.

Over the counter painkillers don’t help so I’m wondering if anyone has this problem and if any drugs help.

Many thanks

Wish I had an answer. Are you getting any information from your doctor? Take care.

Like Eyak1971, I wish I had an answer too. I have some pain in my feet but it's due to a back problem affecting my sciatica nerve. I did a Google search and see, "Foot pain can be a symptom of kidney disease because it can damage blood vessels and nerves in the feet. This can lead to poor circulation, nerve damage, and swelling." Of course, though, I don't know if this is what's happening with you and best to consult your doctor. I do so hope that the pain decreases soon. I'm so sorry about your kidney transplant too. Sending warmth.

Not what you're looking for?
