So when your feet went numb, did the pain go away completely? I either want to get better or go numb at this point. I couldn't live happily at the point I'm at. I guess part of it is I haven't received anything from the doctors pain wise that has helped. Nortriptyline and Gabapentin haven't been very promising so far. Maybe helped with burning slightly, but I'm still unable to stand longer than 5-10 minutes at a time. At this point I'm relying on supplements, diet, and willpower to get through each day until I either get this under control in some manner.
