I am 38 years old. I have not had any serious health issuses. I am not
in perfect shape but average.  My height is 5'10" around 210 lbs. I
see a doctor yearly for a Physical and the only issue he finds is my
apparent Casual alchohol consumption. I recently have been
expieriencing  to me a severe Throbbing/ Itching Pain in my Feet and
Hands , Mostly my Feet. Now here is the strange part of it. It only
seems to happen when I am taking a Shower. I do not take long showers
and they are not very Hot. After about 10 minutes in the shower I have
to rush as I feel the Throbbing sensation starting . It also seems to
happen more often If I shower later in the morning after I have been
up for a while. I have woken up early and jumped right into the shower
and it seems to help.. Strange isnt it...?  I hope that someone can
spread some light onto this Subject pryor to me trying to explain this
to my Physician.

If this pain is on the skin, one would consider allergy to any soap or
shampoo used during the shower, as it all runs down to your feet when
washed off, and likely is in contact with the skin for a longer
duration of time.  All the normal signs of inflamation would present:
heat, redness, irritation, rash, etc.

Unfortunetly no it is not. It is a Pain I feel within my Feet. Muscles
ache.. I elevate my feet to get some relief. I do not notice any
swelling assosiated with the pain. It is a throbbing Itchy feeling...
I have not changed from my regular Shampoo or soap.. It isnt a
reaction of the skin. It still happens if  I just stand in shower
without washing. ( Say for the relaxing affect )

I don't know. Do you get a similar sesation if you stand bare footed
on a different hard surface for ten minutes? If not it may be the
texture of the shower floor = tiles? 10 or 20 pounds less body weight
and/or some exersizes which strengthen your feet may help. I find
going barefooted in the house and car and wearing slaps other places
has helped several of my foot problems.   Neil

Have you been checked for diabetes?  If not you should be checked.  It
is a simple test.  What you describe sounds like neuropathy. 
According to your description you are slightly overweight.  I would
check with my Doctor.

Diabetes is a silent killer.  It will sneak up on you.  It happened to
me.  It is not much fun.  Catch it early.
