I get that throbbing pain too! It hurts right in the bones. I try to press and rub the pain away, but nothing works. I've had this problem since I was a kid. I havent tried vicks. I think I'll give it a try. I wish I knew a remedy for this problem. Hugs, Niecy.

I've tried just about everything. Avoid sugar- avoid caffeine. Warm them up to get circulation going and try a mixture of hydrocortisone cream --- put it in a small bowl and add some cayenne pepper to it. Then rub this on your feet. It does work. Keep the extra in tupperware or a baggie. I got this recipe from a doctor. It really works.
Hope this helps you.

yeah, I've had the same problem lately. I just invested in some Nike running shoes (for me to use while walking) and they are absolutely so light on my feet. I think it made a difference. Anyway I asked my dr. yesterday and she said it could be my Rauynauds phenomenom. The only thing she said was to keep your socks on and keep them warm all the time. I only notice it when I"m lying or sitting down for long periods or when I wake up in the morning. I think it has something to do with circulation. It might be side effects of the drugs or Cellcept.

Mine comes and goes. Don't have it like I used to. Never did anything, just put up with it.

I have actually put my feet in hot wax...but I also have raynauds....but my feet hurt constant and have trouble with shoes...can't find anything comfortable. Has anyone found any shoes that don't hurt.......?

The bottom of my feet are very red! It's been like that for years! Anybody else?

Thought it was just me,get throbbing and burning feet at night when in bed,feels like I have been walking for miles but I haven't walked hardly at all as nearly housebound.Wen47.

Shoes. Are you kidding. I can't wear em! Only kind I can wear are crocs or slip ons. Nothing that covers the whole foot or I'd be screaming. Haven't worn real shoes in over 5 years. Sorry Globug...no help here on the shoe issue.

I don't use shoes...I don't like shoes very much..I like slippers or sandals without heels and light light weight. Most of the time if not cold I wear beach sandal :-) but if winter...hohoho no choice...need to cover the feet... thanks for all the replies guys...I do appreciate it very very much..

I have the same problem. I've found crocs to be my only option. I've been wearing the croc sandals throughout summer and now have to wear them in the house too in order to keep my feet from getting sore. I saw online that crocs now make medical shoes. That's my next investment. Good luck to you.
