Yes. I have the exact same problem.
I am with you Pam, feet burn all day, Gabapentin (2700) doesn't do anything really, Yes, it is impossible to live an normal life. Other pains are magnified. Otherwise I am healthy. I feel like I am being cheated of my later years. Family don't really understand. Did you hear anything about Quatenza (spelling) where they burn the nerve ends in your feet? I am so desperate I might try it. Be well, Jules
Hi, I know what you mean about trying to seem normal while you are standing in the middle of the campfire.!!!!! I am desperately looking for some resolve. Madge
Pam, have you tried any of the electo stimulating therapies?
Perhaps this suggestion may help take the edge off. I discovered quite by accident that if I settle into a very comfy chair, elevate my feet, lay my hands at my side, then remain absolutely still, the discomfort ceases and I get a break from it. Eventually I built it into a mindfulness sort of thing in a room with a fine view and lots of sunshine, pausing several times a day for a self-care treat that can (and does) turn into a very nice nap.
