To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Peripherial Neuropathy I retired from the military in 2006 and 3 years prior to that is when my feet started burning going numb, and felt like pin pricks under my feet near my toes. The pain has progressively gotten worse over the years and I have been to 3 Neurologists with no end in sight. I have taken everything from Cymbalta, Lyrica, Carbitrol, Neuroton, Nortryptyline and a host of others. I have taken vitamins and magnesium as well. My feet right now feel like I have been walking on hot asphalt; that stinging sensation on the balls of my feet. At night, they become so sensitive, I have to sleep on top of the sheets because the slightist touch to the bottom of my feet is sensitive. My feet cramp up as well as my toes. I am now battling Plantar Faciitis in my left foot and pain in my achilles tendon on both feet. I have tried everything from expensive shoes, inserts, to you name it. I have had 3 MRIs and going in tonight for another one. 15 vials of blood later, still nothing to determine what is going on. Does anyone else have these issues? What are you on and what have you done to help your condition? I have also been tested for Diabetes and it was negative. Only thing I can attribute it to is I was wearing smaller boots when deployed after 9/11. Ever since I have had issues with my feet. Thanks, Ed Comments
