Thanks for the suggestion about the support hose. My right foot and my stomach swell. What helps bloating of the stomach? I have cut my Lyrica down to 2x (75mg) from 3x a day, but it hasn't helped the swelling any. My legs still burn a little, but today I got sunburned and they are on fire now! Lots of rest and sleep help me the most. Guess I'd better go to bed now and see if I can go to sleep. Have a wonderful day!

Hey Priscilla, If you're able to submerge your sunburn in a bathtub for 30 minutes, Put 2 cups of Espon Salt into your warm bath water , because the water will get colder after a few minutes.

RE: Re: Fw: Re: [TMIC] Feet Burns
Todd that is very interesting. I also have the horrible freezing/burning in the feet all the time, plus the pins and needles. However, I have checked and my feet are not and do not get swollen. I have noticed that the pain is more severe when I am just sitting and resting. When I am up and about, there is no freezing/burning. At least it is so little, it doesn't bother me. Also, I have noticed that if I reach down and hold my feet tight, again no freezing/burning. But, I sure can't sit in that position for long. That does goes to show, we all have TM, but it affects all of us in a different way.

Debi South Lake Tahoe Ca OK, we've explored the different problems of TM with the feet/legs/toes. Now, how many of you have your hands cramp up into weird positions or lock around something or lock into a clintch and not be able to get your hands to relax into normal positions. When I'm eating, my hands will clintch around the silverware. There have been times where I'm trying to cut something on my plate and BOTH hands clintch around the silverware; the only thing I can do is try to pull the silverware pieces out by my mouth then try to unclintch my hands with my mouth, or sit on my hands or try yoga breathing techniques to relax. This seems to happen if I'm tired or too hot/cold. Now when those conditions occurs, if anything on my plate needs cutting I pick it up and eat it with my hands. Sure cuts down on going out to eat in public. Has anyone bought the special silverware where the handles are bigger? Did it help? To me, the pain from hands cramping/spasming is MUCH worse than my feet/toes or legs, at least I have my hands to unclutch toes, or grab my feet or leg and talk to the offending part (which seems to help). Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably . And never regret anything that made you smile. Prayers and thoughts for you and yours, Candy K.

My arms and hands are another story: my right arm is twisted inward slightly, my right hand is stiff, cannot lift my right hand-it droops like foot drop, I use a utensil holder on my right hand, I type with my right thumb. My left arm is twisted outward slightly. My left fingers are curled slightly, I can lift my left hand. I can push down my pants with my left hand, but have to pull up with the right. I can't feel hot or cold water on my arms or hands. I can't drive. I can't raise my arms over my head. Does anyone else have these strange characteristics?

RE: [TMIC] Feet
Debi -I have noticed that my toes on my left foot (this is the strong side) are curling up. It involved my big toe and the toe right next to it. As a result, they rub in my shoe so I put a soft pad on them. I thought it might be arthritis in those toes, but maybe it is a result of TM. At times, those toes ache especially at night. So far they don't cramp up and I can't uncurl them. I noticed the joint in the toes seems larger than the others that is why I thought of arthritis.

RE: [TMIC] Feet
Yeah your toes do sound like arthritis but tell your doctor about it and they can give you something for the pain. Altho my big toe on my right side and the next toe is stuck in the up position too. So I must have arthritis going on there too. Debi South Lake Tahoe Ca Debi I have noticed that my toes on my left foot (this is the strong side) are curling up.

RE: [TMIC] Feet
Janice - My right foot (that is my weak side) had and has a tendency to turn in. My PT told me it was because my right side was affected more by TM and is the weak side. She recommended during exercises to strengthen that foot. One of the exercises was to sit in a chair, raise my right foot and try writing small words in the air with your foot. I still do the exercises even though it has been over a year and it has helped.

Re: [TMIC] Feet
Ask your doctor if tizanidine would help. Tizanidine(brandname Zanaflex) is a drug that is used as a muscle relaxant. It is a centrally acting α-2 adrenergic agonist. It is used to treat the spasms, cramping, and tightness of muscles caused by medical problems such as multiple sclerosis, spastic diplegia, back pain, or certain other injuries to the spine or central nervous system.

Re: [TMIC] Feet pain
Hi Heather, Wow, that's the same way I get up when I fall or get down on the ground. Interesting, and wonder how many of us use the same technique. If there is something else that others that are able to get into this position use, can you please share. I am not always near something to push up on, and need to crawl or roll to something. Often, I am badly shaken-up and don't have the strength to push myself up as well. When I was doing PT and OT at home my therapist showed me how I could use my sofa cushions. By placing the cushions against the sofa to at least get myself to sitting on top of a single cushion, and then 2 cushions, and then by that time, you can hopefully get to the sofa which doesn't have any cushions on it, so isn't that high. It's kind of like stairsteps. If you can reach down and pull up at least one cushion, sit it along side of you and sit up on that. That should put you high enough to be able to stand if you can or at least be comfortable if somebody else is coming home soon.

At least I no longer try to keep from falling, once it is obvious, since that's when I hurt myself the most, trying to keep from falling. Other than my pride, no injuries. the mud was very soft.

I do have a balance problem but the different floorings, (rug, wood, etc. ) really bother me. and then if I step on something I don't know about it for awhile, then I finally realize I've stepped on a pin or something left on the floor and then finally the pain registers. but it takes awhile. I walked around with a penny in my shoe. it took me a long time to feel the pain.. That sort of scares me. Actually, I feel like the carpet sort of 'fits' to the contours of my feet and helps my balance. But also, I have a small townhouse so there's always a wall or a piece of furniture close by to grab onto. If I go out, I walk best in my walking shoes b/c my balance isn't that good. But I do remember a couple months after I first got TM (5/05) when I found a piece of glass in the callous of my foot! You're right - that's a little scary!

Re: [TMIC] Feet pain
Most of the time I walk IN shoes. I think the support helps with the balance and numb sensation in my feet. On another note I just returned from Johns Hopkins where I was given my third angiogram. Two at Temple Hospital in Phila and now the one at Johns Hopkins. Like Temple Hospital the Interventional Radiologist found absolutely nothing wrong from the angiogram. I asked Dr. Greenberg about the results. He told me that I either have TM or I had a vascular problem that healed. Either way we now have to deal with my symptoms. From what I understand, dealing with the symptoms only means physical therapy. There is a medication that he sort of recommends but I will not take it because of the side effects. Well, back to square one! ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Sally, you mentioned that you leave your shoes at the door. Can you walk around without shoes? I cannot.
