Thanks so much for your suggestion...I have tried arch supports to no avail, and I personally do not think the terrible pain in soles of feet is connected to pn as the pregabalin seems to take care of that pain. The only difference lately is that my legs right up to my knees feel like wood, heavy, kind of numb, and makes my balance even worse, as sometimes wonder where the hell my legs are due to this "wooden" feeling. Someonese suggested seeing a good podiatrist so am trying to book an appt now....When it gets this bad and stops me walking, I am ready for anything, and have also booked an accupuncture appt. Why not, willing to try almost anything !! Thanks again, hi to all fellow foot pain sufferers, Terry

Good morning, all! In all of my interactions with medical folk, specifically in light of this thread about burning feet and numb legs, I am found it to be extremely important to ask any clinician, including (and maybe especially including physical therapists) if they've had experience helping people with our various neuropathies. My biggest complaint, as a result of my idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, is poor balance (oddly enough, with no pain). I have had occasions to work with a number of well-meaning physical therapists, only to discover that our sessions were aimed primarily at helping people whose advanced age was the sole cause of their balance issues. I would have to explain that, as a person with idiopathic PN, my sensations are often quite different and need somewhat different approaches. –Ray (@ray666)
