@lweave2 I have foot neuropathy as well, and I have just about everything you describe. Horrible. Hank has already said much to you, so I will just add that there are some decent videos on you tube for foot exercises for people who have neuropathy that I use. Also, get a golf ball, and run it over the muscles that are very tight, several times a day, or use a side of a can to run your feet across. These simulate myofascial release of the foot. My best to you. This illness is treacherous. Lori Renee

Just read this post but need to leave soon. First thought for muscle tightness is to look into myofascial release. It might be helpful for you. Here is a link to a discussion about it on Connect:

If you are getting physical therapy your therapist should be able to suggest some exercises that could help you as well. I am sorry to hear that you have developed what does sound very much like peripheral neuropathy (PN). Do you have any side effects with the Lyrica?
I will try to follow any ensuing posts from you and others about you. Best, Hank
