Hello. I have diabetic neuropathy. Spasms and pain has been blamed on it. I take pregabalin (Lyrica) and cyclobenzaprine for the spasms in the legs, feet, toes, (back).

I’ve found the lidocaine ointment 5% (prescription) helps the toes and ball of the foot a bit. I use that when its really bothering me.

I tried B vitamin supplements. Reducing sugar (more than I am). I don’t consume sugar, mostly substitutes. I’m not sure any of the helped, or hurt.

I recently had injections in my Para-spinal muscle spasm, it helped! The pain management doctors suggest an epidural and/or ablation to help the pains in the legs. I was told the epidural would “deaden” the nerves of the leg. I’m not crazy about the idea. Wouldn’t I want the nerves in my legs to be “awake” in case of injury? To be able to sense a problem? I’m not sure about those therapies for me. If the therapies I currently take don’t work, I may consider it but not before further evaluation. Ruling out and ruling in of diagnosis.
