Nerve pain is a special agony. I’m in a flare since early this month and I cry out in pain. I sympathize. I apply lidocaine cream. So far it did help. The spasms are out of control so I’m waiting for the neuro and NM doctor and pain management dr to help me. I hope whatever they decide finally treats what ails and not throw darts at it. The lyrica was doubled. Barely touches this pain close to surface of skin. So, it knocks me off my feet. This pain felt like lightning pain in the bottoms of feet. I’m not sure what could help. I’m supposed to follow an anti inflammatory diet. Trying to do what I can. I’m so dependent on my guy to do what I can’t and I hate that. I’m praying I get help so we can get back to living a little. Hope you find some relief and answers soon.

Have you tried 5% lidocaine patches available by prescription? I place them on the tops of my feet where the epidermis is thinner to promote absorption of the drug. The patches control my nerve pain better than gabapentin and I don't have as much systemic exposure to a powerful drug.

I have MS and it's been a month since I tried Botox for spasticity/nerve pain in my right leg and it worked. I think Botox is only approved for spasticity but it helped the nerve pain too. My doctor only injected 100mg because I'm sensitive but I read online up to 400mg is acceptable. I hope this works for you.
