Thank you for your guidance. I live in Japan, and, as far as I know, there are no podiatrists. Probably one would go to a general orthopedic clinic, but, once again as far as I know, they don't do things like insoles, etc. What to do?

[@annsowers4591]

I have fibromyalgia. The newest victim is my feet. I could just cry when it decides to come calling. My husband had a deep vein thrombosis. He also has PAD. 2 bypass surgeries, several stints later he still has both legs and feet. He was a pilot and I believe the long cockpit hours aided this. His circulation is at 30% but this is as good as it will get. By all means see a Dr if your foot turns colors. Quick action and the good Lord is why my husband still has his leg.

[@frugalfoot4973]

Amen to that! Thanks for your comment Ann.

[@tabassamnaz5432]

Please help me as well . I have fibromalagia & I have nerve problem.& doctors dont care! Please give me your number so that we can talk. Sod d doctors. They think they know it all !

[@annsowers4591]

@@tabassamnaz5432 Have you seen a Pain Management Dr? I would try a Rumotologist as well. I cannot take Steroids, Lyrica or Neurotin. They all mess with my heart. Lots of people have good outcomes with the Lyrica and Neurotin. Pain medication does NOTHING for nerve firing. I had a very bad bone infection in my jaw. The nerve in my face fires. I have learned to breathe thru it. Thank God it is not constant. I also have a tens unit for everything except my face. It helps me so much. They are not expensive if you buy through Amazon. It was cheaper than my insurance copay. I also use MagnaLite DB pain relieving foot cream. I can only find it on Amazon. It is a little pricey, but helps me so much. I think I paid $17 for 4 oz. I only use it when I have a bad flair up. The trick is to be generous with the amount you use. I put about a quarter's worth on each foot. Rub it in really good, and immediately put on a pair of loose socks. You have to remember that Doctors are limited to what they can do. Neurontin is now a controlled drug hence Pain Management. I can tell you it keeps my husband from going insane with nerve damage in his legs. I hope this helps. If nothing else, print off my comments and take it to your Doctor. Maybe it will help your regular physician in getting you to the proper Specialist. They may send you to a Vascular Specialist to check your blood flow. By all means go.

[@yvonnepersaud3905]

@@tabassamnaz5432 interestingly, responding to your words, Doctor don't care, hahahaha, When I pointed out to my doctor that the hair on My legs are falling off, My brilliant doctor response was, don't worry, it's the pants that's causing it,I left her fancy office thinking that I was wearing pants for ages, but this discovery is recent, but then I didn't went to medical school,what do i know?

I’m only 26 , but my feet especially my toes and my hands ( especially the tips ) have been like pure ice cubes for a week or so , so I’ve come to KZbin looking for ways to check if it’s my circulation. I work too much to get to a doctor . I was concerned of it causing blood clots if it is poor blood circulation. Lot of my family have had blood clots . Anyway thanks for the video & merry Christmas 🎁
