My pain runs the entire length of my leg, down into the foot to the big toe. The pain is most severe where the leg and foot meet. The 5% lidocaine gel provides relief in that area, and I do wear an ankle brace for additional support. The doctor who botched the SCS test is now reduced to being an oxycodone dispensary until I no longer need him. Because of the botched test, I don't suspect he'll be too resistant to his reduced role!
