Hi, Fala (@fala)

I've no doubt you're 100% correct, that it all comes down to trial & error. My experiments with cannabis, lidocaine, Diclofenac, et al, were all about soft tissue pain (muscles, ligaments, etc.), nothing to do with my PN. That's because I've no foot pain, and my sole PN symptom (at least to date) is poor balance – poor balance and what that means for walking. When I was trying cannabis, I can't remember if I had offered a number of different strengths to try. I didn't pursue it because those strengths I had tried didn't do any more for me than my lidocaine and Diclofenac concoctions, plus the cannabis was significantly more costly. For those of us with foot pain, I endorse a trial & error approach to finding relief. And I wish everyone success! –Ray (@ray666)
