Burning feetam

[Victoria70222]

Help. I am not getting very much sleep. I have had trouble with hot feet st night for a few years but was only awake for perhaps 1/2 hour. For about three weeks it has come on about 2am for an hour but the past fortnight it has been about three hours, last night was awake at 3am and have not been able to get to sleep since 9am. at present they are going between hot and very cold. Any suggestions what I can do would be wonderful . My Dr. could not suggest anything. Thank you.

Might it be a reaction to some medication you are on.?

Sounds like peripheral neuropathy.

Get it checked out by a neurologist?

Hi I'd maybe change doc Or be firm with doc

As went on to long

Not good this situation

You should clearly have a diagnosis by now

and even possible referals etc

Could be a number of things

Like

Nerve issuise

Or

Disease etc

Or something different

I'd phone docs again

Try another doc if not have it out with them went on too long

If meds needed

There is sleep med

And nerve meds etc

Hello Victoria70222,

I can certainly understand why not getting much sleep can be troublesome.

It sounds like you've already discussed this with your doctor, which would be the first thing I'd recommend.

I'm afraid I can't help with the reason why you are experiencing it, but hope the following resources may help with increasing the amount of sleep you get: painconcern.org.uk/product/... (leaflet) and our Pain Education sessions cover sleep, which can be booked here: ow.ly/ZlgZ50SUsrj

You may also like to consider asking your GP if they will refer you to a specialist for further investigation in to the cause of your burning feet sensation

hi Victoria, Soaking your feet in very cold water may help your feet at least temporarily. Sounds like it could be neuropathy. I have the same. Amitriptyline has helped. Continue to seek therapy from your doctor. Best wishes to you.

Hi. Yes I am told it is neuropathy. I had two lots of Chemo. 6 months at a time. I am taking 3 Amitriptyline at night also 2 Lyrica which do not seem to be helping at all. I hope to speak to another Dr. in the next few weeks. Thank you for your help.

I’ve been suffering from the same for years, diagnosed as peripheral neuropathy - started on amytriptylene, then gabapentin but now on Duloxetine 60mg morning and 60mg at night - a lot better than it was

Hi Annie,Thank you for your reply. I have made a note of your meds and hope to make an appointment with Dr. in the next few days so will ask him about it, thank you.
