I’ve not tried it on feet, just hands where it was soothing, but have you thought of a wax bath?

Hi Amy65, when you say it feels like you are walking on glass, have you seen a podiatrist lately. Since RA struck, I have started to get quite a number of corns on the soles of my feet, together with ridges of hard skin, and this can feel as thought you are walking on glass. I have been told it is a known RA thing.

I hope you feel better soon.

Get a referral to the Podiatrist, you may have Morton's Neuroma

Peripheral neuropathy? Painful and burning? I use bio freeze which gives a little help. Doc gave amatriptaline...it helps the pain, but I live in a fog!!

I have pain in my feet only at night and extremely sensitive to touching even the sheets. Rheumy thinks it is Peripheral neuropathy but my orthopedic surgeon thinks it is my low back pushing on the nerves. He is going to give me an epidural on Friday and if that makes it go away even temporarily I’ll have my answer that it is back related. I really hope it is because that would be easier to fix. I have tried nerve pills with no relief

[Amy65]

Thankyou everyone for ur advice amy x

I have Stage 4 kidney disease but think your foot problem may be Mortons Nuroma and that doesn't respond to medications. My best advice is ask your GP for a referral to a podiatrist. Its correct as you know no NSAIDS which makes things difficult. But a firm sole and small heel might help.

Podiatry and Orthotics definitely the way to go! I feel much better - got insoles and toe supports made and they've really helped! M x

You might look at Dr Sircus IMVA and see what he says about Magnesium.
