I’m going to try posting again to see if any responses. Does anyone else have neuropathy/sciatica that goes into the bottom of their feet feeling like pick axes most of the day or a hammer pounding? I’ve tried injections, TENS, started myofascial therapy, various antidepressants/anticonvulsants and the only thing so far that’s helped is hydrocodone. TENS only helps when wearing on the bottom of my feet.

@bustrbrwn22 - It sounds like you've tried a lot of different treatments but haven't found much that helps. There is another discussion that you might find helpful for responses -- Sciatic nerve pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sciatic-nerve-pain/.

Also, here is some information I found that also might be helpful for different treatment options and explanations...

@bustrbrwn22 Jen, I get the hammer pounding on the bottom of my feet. Perfect description of nerve pain. Too perfect. Terrible. Only thing that works for me is Kratom. I know you need too much of it, and wind up with bad side effects. Really a shame. Is the myofascial stuff doing anything at all to help? This is all too much. LoriRenee1
