My partner has very painful, burning feet.
The symptoms, I am told are the same as
someone with diabetes. My partner is not
diabetic and peripheral neuropathy has
been ruled out by the many, many tests he
has had.
He had been on the vitamin b injections
recommended by the Dr., tegretol,repreve
and so many more medicines to try to
relieve the constant pain. It is worse at
night although he does have issues with it
through the day. He prefers to walk
around in bare feet because with socks and
shoes make his feet feel worse.
Can ANYONE help please?

Walk around on bare feet easier?...That rings a bell! Posted: 03-18-08 08:09am
Ok, heres a couple of possibilities he can
run by his doctor...
1. Incorrect shoe for his foot-arch.
When shopping for shoes, he should
preferrably shop at either a sports -
store or a green - cross store. They will
be able to tell him what shoe shape
will/will not work whereas normal shoe
shops isn't always all that well educated
on the topic. It is more important than
what most people realise.
2. The shape of his foot-arch is abnormal
causing problems with ... one, finding
proper foot wear and two he might be
turning his feet in/out as he
walks/stands. As in my case, whereby I
have a flat arch and turn my feet in, with
the solution being to wear orthopedic
inserts to support my "abnormal" foot
structure suckers are not made that can
fit the shape of my feet.
I would suggest he sees a pediatrist to
avoid possible further problems with
joints such as his hips and knees.
