My Stinging and Burning Feet

If you’re reading this, you probably know exactly how it feels - the burning, the pins and needles, or that frustrating numbness. Struggling to feel the gas and brake pedals in the car, the loss of mobility, and also the constant distraction caused by the pain. This all leads to an inability to focus on anything but feet.

I’ve been living with peripheral neuropathy for quite some time now. In the beginning, I felt completely lost in a sea of medical jargon and 'wait-and-see' advice. My Neurologist said nothing about pain relief. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to get the pain manageable. Now I am turning my journey into a roadmap for others. I have created this site because nobody should have to navigate this 'nerve-racking' journey alone. I’m here to share the honest truth about what worked for me, what didn't, and the different aids that have helped me reclaim some sanity.

A Note About Navigating This Site

I recommend checking out the tabs from top to bottom. At the top are what was least effective at managing my pain (compression socks) and work down to what ultimately helped the most (surgical intervention). Even after the surgery, I continue to use many of the items here to manage my pain.

Although I am aware of many other resources, I have included only the ones I have personally used. Everything listed is from first-hand experience. There are no pop-up ads, banners, or other nusciances! If you click on the photo in each section, it will link you to the exact products I have tried. These links generate an average of about 2-4 cents per click which all goes to site maintenance. I hope something here helps you in your journey.
