Mel are you back yet? did you have a fab time? hope it was great for you

I am so pleased for you rosie, especially when it means so much (when you talk of your circumstances). best of luck and I am sure you dont need me to tell you to have a great time. I am so glad you are better. I was gutted for you

Ian - if its any consellation, I knew you said that with tongue in cheek even though I couldnt see your face lol

well CEM as bandit knows this has been an ongoing problem of mine for which i made a separate post a while back.

I am still seeing the GP for this. I have had numerous blood tests, the last one was for ferritin as GP thinks i have what is called "burning feet syndrome" but I beg to differ as this condition generally is worse at night and often the pain is relived on weight bearing. my burning pain is only brought on by weight bearing and as I found out last year, by ski boots. I often get tingling and numbness and burning in my feet after i wear new trainers or shoes but after about 2 hours of walking (that is the max I can manage then I am crippled) if I try to walk after this the only way i can describe it is walking on lava with some crushed glass mixed in (to the soles of my feet). they have ruled out metatarsalgia and also mortons nueroma, I am on iron tablets due to my low iron but I am going back to GP next week maybe and I think I might ask for an MRI. I have read that some people who have disk bulge in their lower back (and i often suffer from back pain, I cant stand for more than half an hour and often take a chair with me to events such as the kids footy etc) can have presentation of burning feet.

I google this every time I am on the computer to see if there are any new things that i have not come across. I would like the neurological and vascular factors ruled out too. (although he did feel the pulses in my feet and did a rudimentary sensation test which all turned out to be ok.

I am starting to feel like a modern medical mystery!
So basically to answer your question......No lol
PS Trencher, sorry to hijack your thread.

when I recently went to get my boots fitted, the guy asked me to stand straight and told me my feet were over prontating! Now given that I had just been to see a specialist podiatrist about my burning feet who told me there was nothing mechanically wrong with my feet and they were perfectly aligned etc who would I believe? I dont think boot fitters are always right as if I hadnt been to see the specialist, i would have just went along with the boot fitter saying that i was overpronating.

good job you had a quick reaction Tony, glad to hear that no one was hurt. you should be well on your way to feeling merry now after all those drinks x

Mel I cant wait to hear your report when you get back as we nearly booked for Chamrousse but went for Valmorel instead. Have a fab time

Hi Duncan, you do realise it is half term when you are going? it will most likely be very busy so maybe harder to get booked up with the kids being off school

well as predicted I went to TK Max and ended up getting a cracking jacket for hubby for £39, cant find it any cheaper than £128 on internet
