Please describe the type of cronic, debilitating pain that you’re talking about. Over the last 3-4 years I’ve had two bouts of debilitating pain in my feet and legs lasting about 2 to 3 months, then vanishing as quickly as it appeared. So I’m waiting for the next shoe to drop. My pain is at its worse when I get up from laying down or sitting and put weight on my right leg. It hurts so much I often cry out. Then it mais very difficult to get around.

I was diagnosed at Mayo Clinic with peripheral neuropathy back in 2012. During most of that time I experienced no pain; just numbness, mostly in my feet and then my fingertips and loss of balance.

I also had spine of fusion surgery in late September, and that seem to exacerbate the pain.
