does anyone have foot pain and burning? mine is mainly in the big toes!!

2

yep! Since beginning this meno journey Ive had ingrown toenails, a torn perineal tendon and planter fasciitis, ankle swelling. At first I didn't make the connection...my podiatrist did. But of course as a woman she knew it was as related to hormonal fluctuations as are my sudden allergies and digestive issues. Male docs say it's just aging, but yes of course it is! The way WOMEN'S body age, hormonally!! So yeah, add that to your list, hon.

me too grace i get the burning in my big toes and tingling and sometime all over my toes and heels plus the pain i hate it hope u feel better

4

I get this, I'm post menopause, I get a severe burning sensation on the top of my feet, plus cramp, been like it for years

5

Burning feet (used to be just left now in both) for a few years. It also coincides with other peri symptoms.

6

yes i had this feeling stared at age 45, two of my small toes tingling feeling , it gets worst when my period comes.

thanks everyone, I am relieved that its not just me !! everyday Ihave a new pain and it scares me . I google some things but that jst makes me feel worse bcuz I start thinking that I have every disease associated with joint pain. I am going to see a Rheumatologist to find out if its RA.I'm praying that it will just be menopause related. Ihope we all start feeling better so we can enjoy getting older.God bless :)

I've had the bottoms of my feet ache here and there.. It's not from wearing shoes or walking all day either because many times I've been off my feet and it still feels odd.. Sometimes in the morning. I take many vitamins and supp too... Joys of hormones I guess

9

I'm dealing with a tear now-- actually 2 tears... Don't know how I did this!!! Could've been torn for awhile and finally just gave in. Did you have surgery for yours? I'm doing everything I can to get it healed.. mainly elevate and ice.. I pray that it gets better because we all need out feet!!

Hello Grace, yes we were just discussing this yesterday. Terrible problems with the big toe, sometimes feels like someone stabbing it with an ice pick. Other times tingling and numbness. And the foot pain is bad. My foot doctor told me that I have cystic changes in my feet, whatever that means. also if I were myalgia and she said that that is worse for the feed and that I had unusually bad arthritis for my age. If you have planters fasciitis it’s my believe it gets much worse during perimenopause and menopause. You also can get what I think is called plantar fibroids and you can have them surgically removed but they more than likely come back. if you have planters fasciitis they have inserts specifically for that, I got some at TJ Maxx the other day and they are terrific. for some reason the foot pain seems worse at night, is it worse for you at night in bed. are you taking supplements, High quality supplements really help.

11

yes, sometimes the pain is worsenwhen I'm in bed. I am taking Vit D, Turmeric and glucosamine.

12

Grace, i’ve taken Tumeric for a long time, but I quit because it really didn’t seem like it did nothing. Then my pharmacist explained to me today, when I was getting supplements at his pharmacy, he makes them, that you have to take her Curcumin, curcumin is what decreases the pain. He said they have to be taken together:)

Hi Grace, Mine started in my right foot second toe. Now I have either numbness, burning or aching in both feet. It's so frustrating as I have a sit down job but moving makes it feel much better. I am getting a stand up desk at work but hard to stand when I'm running a meeting. I also have neck pain and weakness in my arms. Right had feels like I have carpal tunnel syndrome. Stiff muscles everywhere. My doctor ran a few tests and now is sending me for an EMG, said "maybe MS" Geez, that's not fun to hear, then I read online that these are common symptoms of perimenopause. I've also had a few bouts of month-long heavy periods which has cause iron deficiency anemia and that can also cause the nerve pain I have been experiencing. And then I read on this site just how many women are experiencing the same things. Strange that my doctor didn't mention any of this. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

14

can I buy them together or do they sell it separately? the one i take now is just turmeric.

15

I think it’s sold in one bottle, it’s Tumeric with curcumim I think, check with your pharmacist ;)

16

oh my goodness Christine, welcome to the doctor appointment madness. I think we have all been sent for the MS test, there’s no way these doctors don’t know what they’re doing, we are literally cash cows to them. The muscle weakness is such a huge part of this, I had a terribly and I’m now post menopause. Are you on good supplements for this time in life, talk to a holistic or natural path doctor in your area, they are very helpful. Also see if your pharmacist does compounding of vitamins or creams. I am not trying to diagnose anybody, but we really have to look into all avenues, as these doctors really are not very helpful.

17

thanks Lisa,!I'll try that.

18

Yes. it's sold in bottle.. I just bought some the other day to see if it helps with tendon issues. The lady told me it's good together-- turmeric and curcumin and also mine came with black pepper too.. The black pepper and turmeric increases the absorption of curcumin.

19

Kelly… Thank you… You are right ..,,the black pepper helps that ..I’m sorry, I was going to say that earlier... but it’s all sp inundating ....this information we consume over the many years ....and what I remember ....why I don’t remember ...thank you for including :)

Thanks for your reply Lisa. I have been taking iron to come back from anemia (due to heavy periods) plus B12 and magnesium. I am trying to avoid HRT due to increased cancer risk. I am interested in knowing what vitamins and creams you are referring to. Thanks kindly.
