[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2132056, member: 479176"] I agree with Mr_Pot (Bill or Ben?). Could be several things and Shaparon, you need to see a doctor. If it is a neuropathy, I have been taking pregabalin for several years. This just helps the brain to stop recognizing and reacting to (pain) messages from the hyper-sensitive nerves in the hands and feet. Like many, it is worse at night but after starting with itching 8 years ago the sharp stabs have only started in the last year or so. One thing that helps me is exercise that increases the blood flow to the feet. Fast walking works but not too much as this seems to make the pins and needles worse. Of course difficult to do the exercising in bed when the pain often is worse but flexing the knees and lower leg muscles has also helped. [/QUOTE]
