Try caspacin cream 0.075%..it has been shown to help diabetic neuropathy.  You can buy it without prescription, but be careful.  It is based on the ingedient found in hot chilli peppers and it stings for several days of applicaitons before it gets better.  Read directions carefully.  ALso, talk to your doctor before using it...hope that helps.

First see a doctor and find out what the problem is.  To help soak your feet in warm water...invest in a foot bath that vibrates.  Then put on some snug warm socks.

You could try donning sandals or socks and walking, but of course that isn't barefoot.\n\nJust persist with it, you'll callous and eventually not even feel it

There are socks that are generally meant for the elderly and those with diabetes that promote healthy circulation within your feet and legs. I've posted many websites that carry these under sources. I would first suggest that you see a podiatrist or your general doctor concerning the issue and see what he prescribes you. Best of luck :)

you can go to a foot doctor---a podiatrist---they can make you what they call orthodics to fit in your shoes to help.

Please tell me more about your general health through the form on this weblink http://www.jentleearthhealing.com/medherb.html and I will try to help you out.\n\nI suspect it is from a build up of toxins that can present as calcium build up in the bottom of the foot. Reflexology is great for remedying this but I will not know if this is the case till I talk to you further.\n\nCraig - Naturopath

Been there and done that.  I sympathize with you.\n\nFor a temporary fix, you need to get sport tape and tape up your arches.  You must hold your foot so that it is in a normal standing position while you're taping.  Do not let your feet into a relaxed position while taping, or you won't be able to stand up when you're done.  Start taping on the top of your foot behind but near the widest part of your foot, right behind the toes.  Continue taping, slightly diagonally as far back as is practical.  The downside of this is that you've got to peel that tape back off at the end of the day.  And that is NOT fun--talk about a STRANGE feeling as you pull it off the bottom of the foot.  But at least this should get you through temporarily.\n\nFor a permanent solution, you will need to see a podiatrist and obtain orthotics for your shoes.  These are tailor-made inserts, molded exactly to fit your foot.  They are rather expensive (mine were about $350 about seven years ago), but many health insurance policies cover them.  Even if they don't, believe me they are worth the cost.\n\nIf you have plantar faciitis in both feet, expect it to take at least a year of wearing the orthotics to completely heal.  (You'll see marked improvement much sooner than that, though.)\n\nOne major no-no for those who have plantar faciitis--NEVER go barefoot or wear shoes without good arch support.  That lets the arch drop again.

i dont know about melbourne, but you can look up diabetic neuropathy on the internet. also talk with the drs that diagnosed him or the hospital. my neuropathy is very mild and i have trouble gripping things in one of my hands, but no pain. also he should strictly follow his diet regimine and if taking medication definitely do it.  also try the american dibetic organization im not exactly sure what the proper name for it is sorry. try Mayo clinic sites too, in usa

Try soaking your foot in Epsom salts and warm water, making sure that you dry your foot completely.  Wearing sandals is helpful along with cotton socks, which you should change regularly.

From your description there could be a number of possibilities, including rheumatoid arthritis ( the redness and heat) bone and joint damage due to poorly designed, poorly fitted footwear, and bone spurs.  Each of these would benefit from the attention of a qualified podiatrist.  There are medications that can help the rheumatoid arthritis, and the others can benefit from surgery, though it is rarely a first option. The surgeon usually wants one to wait until they are absolutely certain that this is the path for them.\n\nRegarding the sweating, soaking regularly, in hot soapy water with Epsom salts and a little chlorine bleach can work wonders.\n\nDo wear quality walking shoes with low heels, made of leather and not ever synthetics.  My favorite for comfort is Clark's brand shoes.  They are not always the most attractive ( though they can be nice)  but the resulting smile on my face is always worth it.\n\nsource: Experience with my Grandmother's , Mother's, Mother-in-laws feet and my own.

Well, I have 2 of them!  Seriously, you could have neuropathy.\nSymptoms depend on the type of neuropathy and which nerves are affected. Some people have no symptoms at all. For others, numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet is often the first sign. A person can experience both pain and numbness. Often, symptoms are minor at first, and since most nerve damage occurs over several years, mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. Symptoms may involve the sensory or motor nervous system, as well as the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system. In some people, mainly those with focal neuropathy, the onset of pain may be sudden and severe.\nSymptoms may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, and fingers.\nSometimes, diabetes causes neuropathy.\nMy husband takes Neurontin for his burning feet and he is not diabetic.\nI would see a doctor if this continues.

I have it too and like the others here, mine seems to come and go. I know how painful it can be, but I just tend to "work through it". I'm on my feet all day. Losing weight can be of help if you are overweight. Also try wearing shoes with good support. You might also try insoles or prescription orthotics. There are also stretching exercises you can do as well as wearing a special boot at night that helps to stretch those ligaments. Another alternative is perhaps seeing a clinical massage therapist. Best wishes and happy feet!
