A tiny washing up bowl and some baby bath bubbles does it for me Mags

Not any diagnosed heart condition and on the doctors machine blood pressure still good, but after 2500 million beats perhaps showing some lack of urge. I started to take an interest in the condition of my feet recently, they were showing a bit of puffiness around the ankles and tingling and sometimes a numb feeling in the sole. I also remember reading that in the old blood can thicken and make the circulation from your pedal extremities slow.
I decided to embark on a bit of home therapy, started by spending 20 min before getting out of bed with the feet raised above the head, legs at about 45 deg. (feet on top of headboard) don't do this before retiring, you won't go to sleep as it oxygenates the brain. Then a bit of massage to the feet, tops and soles.
In my opinion this is proving quite beneficial, the feet feel a lot better and I resolve to get a bit more cycling and country walking in as well.
Has anyone else resorted to such measures ?

Do you have a partner who shares the same bed?. I may try this tonight, but the wife may think I'm trying it on, albeit from an oblique angle..

I had the same symptoms a few years ago but it was due to blood pressure so now I take pills and feel fine

I thought I read somewhere that pins & needles and tingling feet could be a warning sign of diabetes.
Don't know if this is correct though?

...yes I understand that can be the case Mups but I have been tested recently and was ok

For me its severe nerve damage due to degenerative back and neck condition ......

Poor you Patsy, that's tough. They said ages ago that I had "spondylitic changes" in my neck and it is playing up as we speak, but that can't be anywhere near as bad as your problems.
