The foot burning is making me restless.Pl. advise.

Answer 1

Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy
Preventive Treatment
Prevention of diabetic neuropathy and its complications remains the best strategy. Optimum glycemic control diminishes the risk of developing a disabling peripheral neuropathy, but carries an increased risk of hypoglycemia.[4] Patients with diabetes also need advice about foot care and footware, and about protection of hyposensitive areas and pressure points, to prevent the occurrence of painless ulcers and decrease the risk of bone infection. Prevention and treatment of the 'diabetic foot' are best administered in specialized foot clinics.[60] Pancreas transplantation, which might stabilize the neuropathy,[61] is not yet routinely performed.

Symptomatic Treatment
In focal neuropathy, including cranial nerve palsy, PDN and truncal neuropathy, the disease course is self-limited, with spontaneous recovery within a few months in most cases. Control of pain can be difficult both in LDDP and in focal neuropathies. Carbamazepine, phenytoin, clonazepam, or paracetamol in combination with codeine phosphate can be useful. Tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine or amitriptyline, are often effective; the usual dose varies from 30-150 mg per day. Tricyclic antidepressants might aggravate postural hypotension. The recently introduced drugs duloxetine and pregabalin are also useful.

Postural hypotension only requires treatment if it is symptomatic. It is worth trying midodrine (where licensed) before using 9-α-fluorohydrocortisone, which is the most effective treatment for postural hypotension but carries a risk of hypertension.

Treatment of Focal and Multifocal Diabetic Neuropathies
PDN is often very painful, and the pain is frequently resistant to conventional treatments. Treatment with corticosteroids for a few weeks or months can be considered in such cases, along with adjustment of glycemic control.[38,48] It is important to keep in mind that the overall spontaneous prognosis of focal diabetic neuropathies is good.

it is a pretty technical article but the short version is, get the sugar, and weight down. Don't drink alcohol, certainly. Consult with your physician about some treatment and help in lowering your blood sugar. Optimal is 100 but less than 120 (two hours after meals or fasting sugar levels) is good. There is no cure for it, only slow the progress by keeping your sugar under control. Exercise helps the sugar levels so ask your doctor about this also. Good luck and God bless.

I"m Rob's wife and this only happens to me after I've experienced multiple organsms on the clitoral end of sex. My best guess, though I'm not a doctor is the nerve endings in the bottom of your feet are attached to the clitoris. I hope this helps someone 'cause I had NO idea why the hell this was happening to me about 7 years ago when I was about 28 years old. They say a woman hits her prime around 30 and that seems to be quite accurate. If this is happening to you please respond/comment. Most of these answers wouldn't help me if my life depended on it, in fact they are down right rude!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the past 3 years I have suffered daily with neuropathy. Well it’s been just 1 week and I just cannot put into words how brilliant my results have been. I have absolutely no more hyper sensitivity and no more agonizing burning pains. I can’t explain it, but this thing works. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your secret with me.

Answer 5

This could be related to Diabetic Neuropathy but the only way to find out for sure what is going on is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think is going on.

Answer 6

Acupuncture, which involves inserting thin needles into various points on your body, may reduce peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
