Peripheral Neuropathy 11/9/2020

For the past three days, I’ve had pretty intense nerve pain attacks. Two nights ago, it was the inside of my right foot. Then last night, there were two spots on my left foot. Fortunately, those areas of pain stopped this morning. However, while I was sitting down eating dinner, another attack started on the top of my left big toe. This one is hurting pretty badly now. The pain would last for 2-3 seconds and is increasing in intensity.

I mentioned before that these attacks used to come once a month and last for about 24 hours. Now it seems that there is a new pain area each day. I’m popping Tylenol like candy and usually it has no effect. I basically have to try an fall asleep through the intense pain and hope that everything subsides when I wake up. I don’t know if this is a temporary thing or if I will have neuropathy attacks daily from now on.

Ugh. I guess I rubbed my toe to hard trying to massage the nerve ending. Not only did it not help any, now I have a blister on the top of my toe. In the past, I thought it was because I used a massage wand but just using my thumb will cause a blister too. Fortunately, it’s not too big and on top of the toe and I drained it and put an band-aid over it.
