Itchy Feet, I Have Had Pine And Needles In My Feet For A Few Years, Doesn't Bother Me Much

[alinic]

Am 54, not really much in health issues, have joint pain we etc, take 250 naproxen x2 a day co codamol when needed, animatriptaline 50mg at night, omprozale.(spelling isn't my wrong point)
Tonight I could claw my feet off with the itch! Can't sleep,
Also my stomach has been playing up today pain in upper left hand of chest.
What's causing the itch, mostly on top of feet all round my ankles as well. Just taken N antihistamines about an hour ago, still itchy help please!

the itch sounds as if it could be caused by the amitryptaline (sp)
Contact your gp in the morning

Thanks for your reply but I had taken that for a few years, with no problems apart from a dry mouth at night.

ooh, that solves that - but doesn't solve the blasted itch :-(

Occasionally have itchy feet so I can understand.
I found plopping on a couple of cold cloths eased it, even 'wore' them to bed one night to try to get some sleep :-)

So many answers to your question of why do my feet itch, which can only be answered by a physical examination.

1% hydrocortisone cream may be bought from the chemist to be applied at night and monitor the situation. If no improvement over a period of a week, then see your GP.

Rarely does your symptom indicate a serious underlying condition.

Have you by any chance been eating a lot of sugary food recently?
In my own experience, I have linked sugary food to the tingling and itch that I get in my feet from time to time. If I eat a lot of sugar, the itchy tingling is certain to follow.
