I have been dealing with neuropathy since I had a severe sprain which caused both CRPS and a traumatic neuroma to form back in 1998 in an area slightly closer to the toes than a Morton's Neuroma - its been suggested its a Morton's Neuroma and then after surgery redefined (again and again) as not one ugh. I have been through so many procedures and medicines - nerve blocks, surgeries, every suggested pill... My last major procedure was a surgery where the neuroma was removed - the pain stayed away about 9 months...now its back as bad as its ever been. I am on Lyrica, Cymbalta,Lidocaine/Prilocaine and Capsaicin cream.. each thing offers a bit of relief but no where near good relief. I stay active as I can. I practice walking properly or my foot turns in. It hurts insanely bad but I don't want my foot to weaken. The pain has spread up my shin ...weird thing is I have bruising that never goes away along my nerve line my doc says that can happen as the neuropathy spreads. I am 55 with 4 grown children and 2 grandkids. Married 37 years to a very supportive man who has his own health issues. And we own our business and work from home. I am feeling pretty down ...just tired of this. Not suicidal ... but so tired of it. How do you all get through the day?

Oh it is a cutaneous neuropathy in my left foot..and now shin.
