Recommended Posts

My husband is curently tapering Ashton method from 12mg Valium first of March now down to 1.5mg. This week he has developed burning feet that are painful to stand on. He has experienced some other common sx, headaches, insomnia,anxiety, all have mostly subsided. Any insight?  Thanks

Hello,

 

I believe I have heard of members suffering with this symptom. While I had a lot of burning, mine was all through my body and not just on the feet.  This neuropathy is discussed on this thread: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=82189.0

 

It is not a bad idea to have a check up as well, to rule out any underlying causes for the pain.

Hi

 

I have had burning and other pain in my feet.  It is a withdrawal symptom, and if you do a search of the forum you should find others who have had it.

 

I hope your husband feels better soon

I had that too, was awful sometimes very painful to walk. I had neuropathy checked and it wasn't that, if the pain is from Benzos which it most probably is, it will go away, however better to have NP ruled out. Hope that your husband feels better soon.

Take care Ddxxxxx

I have had the same thing especially on my right foot.  It hurts so bad sometimes I can barely walk.  I went to a foot specialist M.D and after $400.00 later she told me I had flat feet and probably always did.  She gave me orthotics and an ankle brace but it doesn't do much good.  I have never had problems with my feet before and the pain comes and goes but does limit my activity.  I want to get out an walk as the rest of me is starting to feel better.  I guess I'll chalk this one up to the Benzos as well and hope it leaves someday.  Still dealing with some burning mouth syndrome too but it is getting better with time.

I have the burning on the bottom of my feet as well.  Its like someone is putting a cigerette out on the bottom of my feet.  My feet also twitch, tingle etc. on the bottom.

horrible burning on my both heels of my feet and my right toe. when i'm lying down i have to re-position myself because it's coming from whatever my brain is doing. it puts down a pressure so badly and both my heels of my feet are bright tomato red and peeling because they are burning so badly.

SAme here, and I also have flat feet and wear orthotics. The burning is still there. Guntherp: do your knees hurt at all from the flat feet? Mine are starting too and im wondering if it is at all benzo related. Thanks.
