[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1584487, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4][USER=71447]@Lorraine Cannell[/USER] [/SIZE][/FONT] - [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]you have my deepest sympathy. I truly know how horrible that kind of nerve damage can be. I hope you try the R-ALA or ALA - it has worked wonders for many of us (and many Germans I gather!) I too have some arthritis and know what you mean about it being very different pain. The thing to remember with the burning sensation is it because the nerve endings are damaged that they are transmitting the sensation of pain to you, even though they are actually not overheated. I found that very helpful. Keeping your feet well moisturised is hugely important. And cotton socks, whenever you can, and good breathable leather shoes (unless you are anti animal products) ( poor you if you are!). No need to genuinely overheat your feet if you already have all the sensations of burning anyhow! This was the excellent advice I got from my Swedish podiatrist.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]I have had my feet tested in two countries - one that came up with 'no neuropathy' (worth caring about) diagnosis, and one that told me about the deep nerve damage.
