Hello @fleure, It's good to be proactive and do your own research. I started a supplement protocol for my SFPN which I only have numbness no pain. I'm fortunate to not have to deal with meds for pain for my SFPN. I have had a couple of bouts of PMR which I've had to take prednisone but I am currently titrating off it now for the second time. First bout of PMR was in 2007 and then took the nasty prednisone for about 2+ years and it went into remission until this past March. I had a post in a previous conversation where there is a little more info on how I started the supplements if you want to read... https://connect.mayoclinic.org/reply/reply-8cf9ea91c0d889d/. Good luck!

Does anyone have burning pain and numbness in one foot and ankle that the pain is amplified when staring or walking? I know there is something wrong in my left foot but a foot surgeon sees busitis and metatarsal pad deterioration but no solutions. I have orthodics, gel pads, and take Gabapentin and compound creams that helps reduce the pain. If anyone has a similar problem, please let me know.

Hello Robert (@robertlclark), are you able to get a second opinion from another specialist? Hopefully someone here has similar symptoms and can answer your question.

Have you seen a neurologist to see if there is nerve damage? The symptoms kind of sound like small fiber peripheral neuropathy which I have but in both legs and feet. I've never had the pain but just numbness. It started out in the toes for me and worked it's way up into the calves below the knees. Have you seen the causes/information listed on the Mayo Clinic website? http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/burning-feet/basics/causes/sym-20050809. Not sure if this is helpful but may help with future discussions with your doctors. Don't give up! I think it's important to be your own advocate and stay proactive. Treatments that work for some people may not work for others...and there are a lot of scams when it comes to getting rid of pain and numbness.
Hi John, yes, I've seen a couple of Nuerologist but my problem started in 2008 with burning pain and numbness in my buttocks, both legs, and left. Had two lumbar laminectomy over the years that corrected most of my pain with the exception of burning pain and numbness in my left food. My Neutologist thinks I have a biomechanical problem in my left foot. Tomorrow I'm going to see an orthopedic doctor at our local University Health Department. I have orthodistts that doesn't help my pain and I take Gabapentin and a topical cream that helps the pain. Just thought I'd see if anyone here has anything like mine. Thank you John. Bob

Thanks Bob. Hopefully you will get some answers tomorrow that will help. Also, hoping that someone else with similar symptoms will be able to provide some helpful information. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. Please keep us updated if you can.

I did a bit of research and I believe you are talking about the previous discussion that you started called Cerebellum Brain Atrophy where you connected with another member from South Africa. Here is the link to that discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cerebellum-atrophy/.
If you have further questions, feel free to send me a personal message by clicking on my name and then clicking on the envelope symbol in profile.

Hi John, I've seen many specialists but none have been able to find the specific problem. Most tell me that I will have to live with the pain
