Is the Heat Affecting Your Nerve Pain?

Give us our weather back Lαrα! Been a bit cool and rainy the past few days. Thankfully it's clear skies ahead for the next few days!

Oh and to answer your question, I feel better in general when the weather is warmer

I love really warm weather. I don't have half the pain in the summer as I do in the cold winter. This February was brutal for me with below zero days. My electrical shock pains fire up. I enjoy and like to absorb the heat but not a lot of humidity. We have had some this summer with lots of rain in northeast , pa. It hasn't been a good summer so far. We are already into month 7 of the year. Already not looking toward winter. Hope everyone is feeling well. Have a great upcoming weekend.

The heat is making the burning in my feet almost unbearable! The hotter it is, the more my feet burn! One of my fellow-residents has been complaining about her nerve and phantom pains (leg amputee) too!

Knight, then you know just what I mean, its so annoyingly uncomfortable and then I get these shock pains in my feet that literally feels like someone has chopped my toes off!

acrobatinmydreams,thats real interesting, in the UK we don't often get humid heat although this week we have. Normally it's not so hot but the pain in my feet does increase just by wearing socks.

Thankyou for sharing this information, its very useful and interesting. I appreciate the time and effort you went to looking this up!

Oh, give me the cooler weather! Actually, acrobatinmydreams, I think you hit it right on the head--weather changes are the hardest thing for me, especially quick changes in barometric pressure. Humidity is a killer. Only good thing about warm weather is that I don't automatically pee when I step outside!

Lαrα, I put on my winter kayaking socks made of 2mm neoprene, mid-calf height. Filled dishpan with water and ice cubes and submerged feet and sat until pain went down, about 20 minutes.  Patted feet dry and put support hose, regular socks, and braces back on.  Relief from the awful burning lasted about 3 hours. Repeated, and it worked again. Don't know why I didn't think of this years ago...
