I am a diabetic with moderate peripheral neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. For years, it did not bother me too much. In the past week, my neuropathy has gotten much more painful. Also, I am now feeling pain in my hip that radiates down to my knee.....this started two days ago.
Are these things happening because I now have better circulation and oxygen or is it just a coincidence?

my husband is taking Amitriptyline for peripheral neuropathy in his feet and lower legs. He has been on it for 10 years. His only problem is that his penis is more relaxed than we both would like. His blood sugars are normal. His 10 yr A1C avg. is 6.0
Thank you very much in advance for your response.
I am literally back and forth with this, and it is giving so much anxiety (thinking about it all the time).
Here is some more info, I would appreciate if you gave me some more opinions/offerings.
I am 24 (I currently have a full time desk job and go to school).While the job isn’t terrible- I can’t stand sitting at a desk all day and I want to be a cop or firefighter, I even cops in the family to help in this process.
My bunions are bad - there genetic, all my brothers have them (not as worse as me). I can run alot with no pain, which I recently been testing more and more lately. Matter of fact, there is never any pain unless I put pressure on it (ex: bending it back/forward).
So why on earth should I get this surgery now? Why risk a chance of there not being a full recovery?
What is the pro, the fact that these bad bunions will get worse and not make me walk eventually? And in how many years, 5, 10, 20+?
Thank you very much!
I am not scared of the surgery at all to be completely honest, what I am scared of is the RECOVERY and that alone. But if there truly is a full recovery, I am all for getting it done now while I am young.
I'm a 16 year old girl and an athlete and i have continuously had this weird foot pain that i don't know what it is but it comes randomly for a few days and then goes away, it usually happens after i do a lot of running or exerices in general. I don't really know how to describe the pain except that it feels like there is a bar or a string along the bottom of my foot (vertically) and it hurts to walk and if i stretch out my foot i feel like the "bar" is going to snap. It's really painful and i don't know what it is, has this ever happened to anyone?
Hi everyone,
It seems like last night the sole or ball of my right foot was killing me. I felt like i bruised it or something. I woke up this morning and my right foot is now killing me when I walk. When I walk i feel a bad bruise like feeling throughout the ball of my foot. Anyways I have a 5 day 60 mile camping trip in four days. Should I skip the trip or will I be able to just deal with the pain? Right now I am so psyched about the trip, but I am scared of losing my balance or something due to the pain of the hike. Is there any way to get rid of this pain by then? Is this plantar fasciitis or did I just pull something? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Okay so, I'm 14 and going into high school. Dancing is a HUGE part of my life. I was a squad leader of the drill team in junior high and am trying out for the high school team next year. Dancing is what I live for. I just have one problem. Flippin crazy bunions. They run in the family, and bring me pain just walking in any style of shoes but sandals.. much less dancing. I wanted to try pointe, but just being on the box for more then 20 seconds brings me excruciating pain. And my feet are just plain ugly with them. I want to have surgery..But I'm scared that once the healing process is over, I wont be able to dance the same. But at the same time, I'm not sure if the pain is worth it. I've looked into it but nothing has really helped me enough to make a decision. If you have any advice I would deeply appreciate it. HELP!!
