Good morning everyone I would like some advice regarding my feet please,most days they burn,then tingle but the one that hurts the most is when I walk it feels like I am walking on my bones now the things I have done are buying proper fitting shoes,massage my feet and I wear slippers around the house I have been thinking of asking Santa for a foot massager to see if this would help or would It be a waste of time?
I have had all bloods done B12 ect currently taking 5mg of folic acid as I have serum folate deficiency back in July saw a neurologist who straight away said it was the onset of diabetes he had seen this before he gave me venlafaxine which I am taking 150mg.
Not sure what else I can do?
I have been diabetic since I was 20 (32 years ago). 4 years ago I was diagnosed with neuropathy after complaining of problems with my feet. I was convinced I had pencils in my shoes! Sometimes my heels are so painful too. My situation was definitely improved through the use of alpha-lipoic acid. It's worth a try.
