What was that...?

Last night/early this morning I was asleep when suddenly I got this pain that I've never felt around the head and base of the phalanx area of my left foot. It felt hot and was extremely sensitive to touch, my boyfriend tried to rub it and I almost ripped his face off because it hurt so much. I'm assuming that since it was sensitive to touch, there has to be some nerve involved.

My feet are a little deformed due to the cerebral palsy, knowing my luck that probably plays a factor in whatever it was that I felt. I sat up for awhile, slowly stretched my heel chord and began to apply some weight to it. I took an Oxycodone and eventually the pain subsided and I fell back asleep.

I've never had this pain before and my foot, although not the same pain, has had a little pain every time I've gone to walk. Anyone with some advice or some sort of similar pains?

Rainy...

I have no idea what that was.... but I've definitely had random things like this jolt me awake. I'm glad that the oxy was able to help it...

I, too, think it might be nerve related. Are you on a nerve medication? The "random" jolts that I get tend to be nerve-related for me.

Blessedx8, I'm not on any nerve medication. I like to keep the number of medications that I take as low as possible and I'm already on 6 medications and multivitamins. I think the oxy was more of a placebo effect rather than actually helping it. But hey, if it helps, it helps.

Lexi, I'm hoping it was a one time thing or maybe even a minimal thing. I think that would be tolerable as long as it isn't every freakin' night. I wasn't planning on asking to take Cymbalta...or anything else for that matter. I suppose I could let you (and only you >.>) call me by my "real" name...maybe. XD

Ah SB, just think of Lexi and I as Thing 1 and Thing 2. IRL (in real life) friends for over a decade so we're sorta' the 'finish each others sentences' kinda' type. haha
