    Hi Valval
    I often put my feet up on a spare pillow at night I find this helps with the pain it might help you with the heat as well.

    Make a massage up of E47 Cream with a touch of peppermint oil in and massage your feet every night, Put them in those special cotton sleeping socks if you don;t want to mess the sheets up.
    Plenty of massaging - great.

    Snap with the pain and discomfort in both feet! I suffer from Neuropathy caused by diabetes and also with r/a which has caused damage to both feet.
    I have deep throbbing pain along with hot sensations they feel like they have been dipped in bleach lol the only way i could think of describing it to my hubby was asking him to think of a chicken breast and removing one of the veins from it before cooking :D , weird i know but its that pulling sensation. They also jerk suddenly and my legs and ankles feel jittery too. I do explain things in a very strange way i know lol and i do apologise but it is so painful even after taking painkillers. Ooooh pass that meat cleaver! :roll:

    Hi
    I have to elevate my legs every night on 4 pillows: 2 under my knees and the other 2 on the lower half of my legs - under calfs and ankles. This helps a lot - mind you I cannot straighten my legs and all (have oa in both knees) and this keeps my joints supported.
